Update: Blizzard has officially revealed it is, in fact, a new legendary weapon: Taldramir, the Whispering Wood. Weta Workshop crafted a full-scale replica of the weapon in a video posted to the Warcraft Twitch stream. Original article is below.

World of Warcraft: Forever's launch is imminent, and Blizzard used the occasion to tease what looks to be the game's first new legendary weapon.

Earlier today, a stream went live on the Warcraft Twitch channel that shows the creation of what looks to be a full-scale night-elf-themed staff weapon. The name of the stream is titled Camelot_revealv2_final.mp4, with Camelot being a reference to Forever's development codename. Twitch itself is hyping up the stream, stating in a blog it will lead to a "major reveal and a particularly exciting moment you don't want to miss."

The builders on stream can be seen using 3D printers and all other kinds of tools to craft what looks like a life-size replica of a specific staff that has been popping up in recent Forever promotional materials. A staff wielded by a skyborne Druid that looks extremely similar to the one being built can be seen in the recent Warpath animated music video. New promotional Forever artwork on Battle.net also looks to feature the same, distinct staff, once again wielding by a skyborne Druid.

" Given the words were written in the night elf language and that the staff that keeps appearing is also night-elf-themed, players are beginning to think the two are connected.
