Event Rules:
- The artwork must be original. Copying artwork from the game won't do well. To be fair with people who aren't artists, they may use art from other games, but that isn't as much valuable as original art.
- Weapon name must be World of Warcraft-like, meaning that Doom's Doomray of Doom isn't a fitting name for this event. The NPC who used to wield it, should be original as well, may even be one of the player's characters name.
- Create a story for the weapon. No Artifact Weapon is Legendary without a good story behind it. Tell who wield it first, when, for what and where it has been lost, according to the legends. These are examples to help you get started.
- Special Powers. Pick a theme fitting the class and specialization the weapon would be for. You can explain some divergences with the story, but a weapon for a Rogue that throws fireballs would be hard to justify, for example. Also, make sure to create a realistic item. It's meant to be powerful, but also something that could be in the game without destroying balance. Absurdly powerful items will just be disqualified and not considered (ex. a weapon that sunders entire worlds).
Hi. What happens if the character/NPC used in the story isn't original at all as you told it should be? Would it count as breaking that rule(2nd rule)?
Also using a story that is part of the game lore already, will count as breaking 3rd rule?
Will the story be as valuable as the design of the weapon?
Edited: January 4, 2021
Using a NPC from the game, like Thrall or Variann for example. You can use your own characters as it would be your original creation.
The more original content you create the better. Don't take too long, we are wrapping up this event.

Lore:
Long Criticized for a botched summoning at the Argent Tournament, Wilfred Fizzlebang's Niece found herself greatly criticized for her uncle's failure. Finiabell Sparkwazzle, an aspiring craftswoman herself at the Gnomish Inventor's Guild had to plea with the Guildmaster to keep her spot in the Guild. After a stressful conversation, she was put on 'sabbatical' in Icecrown while the notoriety associated her uncle's name died down. Finiabell knew that she needed to redouble her efforts for her undergraduate thesis, as the fate of Azeroth stood in the uncertain hands of the Ashen Verdict. After a long letter to Rhonin, she met with the Kirin Tor, and with the help of some of the newly anointed Argent Champions, was escorted to the Eye of Eternity. While Malygos had met his end several months ago, she spent grueling weeks in the Eye, looking and attempting to draw upon the latent energy within this realm. Maybe there was something that the Argent Champions missed...
While her search was nearing her end, she made an unexpected finding! A pocket of raw, untapped arcane energy! Her supplies nearly depleted, she crafted a basic dagger out of remaining sprockets, spanners, and gyrators.
"By the light, It worked!!! It actually worked!" Finiabell remarked, "Finally, all the months of strife can be fixed, and just in time too, as Tirion's forces may siege Icecrown at any mom-". Finiabell's excitement was cut short by a bright yellow light, a staticky sound, and then unconsciousness.
When she woke, the drake that had navigated her through the Eye of Eternity had collapsed in front of the Council of the Six, this time at Wyrmrest Temple. The heads of the wyrmrest accord each channeling their powers into suppressing this latent energy. As she attempted to rise, temple guards restrained her. A quick survey of the Dragon Aspects made her realize that they were not celebrating, but trying to suppress a bomb! Finiabell realized this. She would not let her family be known for their failures. She quickly blinked away from the temple guards, and towards the dagger.
As she made contact with the dagger floating atop the temple, a bright light once again flashed, and then subsided. As Alexstraza and her council members looked back, Sparkwazzle was gone. She gave her life to act as a conduit for the Dragon Aspects' Containment Beams. Finiabell made a weapon which would be pivotal in the fight against Arthas, but she would not be around to celebrate her achievement. Her dagger remains unadorned for remembrance of her sacrifice, and in the possession of Alexstraza to give as she fit to the most worthy and well-tempered spellcaster.

Please vote for the best weapon. Call your friends to vote in your submission or just vote in the one you liked most!
Hi . i want to ask who won The best design, elected by the Staff ? . or if not it will be chose in 12 january ?
Already used in the 2016 event. I considered adding it, since it didn't won (neither got any votes). It is basically a parody submission that didn't follow at all what we are looking for: a good story.
Ancient Devastation and Timeless Blade are the winners.
Congratulations to bglsto and hhh333555
