Yet more spoilers from the world of legal paperwork as Blizzard Entertainment has trademarked something called ”Eye of Azshara” in the mystical land of Benelux, which really isn’t a zone in Azeroth, but in Europe instead.
Now in lore, Azshara was the highborne elven queen who sort of let Sargeras and the Burning Legion out of their crazy box. Surely then World of Warcraft is already gearing up for its next expansion?
There is another distinct possibility to consider and that’s something for Blizzard’s card battler Hearthstone. Azshara is actually a zone in North Eastern Kalimdor, right where the old Elven capital once stood. It was redesigned for the launch of Catacylsm, in which a large island appeared in the center of the bay - appearing to look like an eye from above.
Goblins control the island’s harbour, and it ties in nicely with Hearthstone’s recent Goblin-based card update. BlizzCon 2014 is almost upon us and we could be in for a treat either way - perhaps they’ll have something for World of Warcraft and Hearthstone?
