Return to the Valley of the Icons
by
TheOnyx
.
Another pack of icons have arrived - plenty of them are quite famous through the items they portrait. Shadowmourne and Quel'Delar are assumed to be among them.
OH WAIT - one of the swords actually looks like a frozen
Ashbringer
! :O
Don't you reckon, even without the glowing circle that is stuck in the blade (as seen
here
), it could very well be a redesigned Ashbringer? Of course I could be wrong with that assumption.
