Legendary Artifacts of Warcraft
Vanilla WoW Classic 1.12 · x5 realm · wowx5.ruLegendary artifacts are the relics around which the whole Warcraft universe turns. The weapons of ancient chieftains, the creations of fallen titans, and the spawn of the Old Gods — each such item carries power enough to reshape the fate of entire peoples.
What makes an artifact legendary
A legendary artifact is more than a powerful weapon. It is an item whose history is woven into the great wars of Azeroth: it is born at a turning point, changes the course of events, and leaves its mark for ages. Many hold demonic or elemental power within, while others are a curse upon their bearer.
Weapons of chieftains
Some artifacts became symbols of whole peoples. Doomhammer is a relic of the orcs, passed from Orgrim to Thrall. Gorehowl is the axe of Grommash Hellscream, a symbol of the Warsong clan.
Creations of darkness
Other relics bring ruin. Frostmourne was forged by Ner'zhul and destroyed the soul of Arthas. The Skull of Gul'dan gave Illidan his demonic form, and the Eye of Sargeras is a weapon of the Dark Titan.
