Few days have passed since the whole The Dark Below World of Warcraft expansion controversy. For those of you who haven't been active around here, let me briefly explain it.
On the 13th of this month, 4 days ago, all gaming sites and portals have been filled up with Blizzard's application for a new trademark, called "The Dark Below". The inducement of this whole controversy was a trademark application filled with Blizzard's info, such as office, phone number, lawyer and whatnot. Some time later, another alleged registered Blizzard's trademark popped out of nowhere, called Corgis Unleashed. At this time, obviously, most of the sane minds inferred that this was just an application for the trademark, not an official confirmation from the trademark office. After all of this controversy, shamed writers of various gaming sites apologized to their users and moved on.

However, moments ago, former WoWPlus developer and a contributor here on the site, Master674 shared a really interesting picture with us through the shoutbox;

Is this just another fan-made hoax or a real thing leaked by some Blizzard employee, it's up to you to decide. Leave your thoughts in the comments below.

The Dark Below is quoted in Wiki b4 this nonsense. It's demonic in origin and not part of the legion. It is clearly known we have to head into a demon xpac again at some point considering Sargeras etc.
