This cult is no joke when trying to resurrect their god.

Hakkar the Soulflayer, the Blood God, is a malevolent and destructive enemy notably worshipped by the Gurubashi trolls. He is the final boss of the Zul'Gurub raid. He is summoned with a gory blood ritual and let me tell you that if this incredible piece of art doesn’t represent this ritual well enough, I don’t know what will.

6. Shadowlands

The sky broke and a mirrored tower appeared.

Sylvanas Windrunner broke the world of Azeroth ripping the sky to the shadowlands by breaking the Lich King’s helmet. This official image from Blizzard is just perfect. Having the two towers mirrored, and the sky ripped is warning enough that things are not going to be the same.

This was a magical place before Sylvanas burned it.

Teldrassil is the beautiful world tree situated on the eponymous island off Kalimdor’s northwest coast. If you’re more into landscapes, this is the perfect wallpaper to feel the magic of the world with the beautiful pink sunset and gigantic trees, not to mention the fantastic lore the game has with its races and creatures around.

Deathwing's portrait is just perfect to reflect the cataclysm.

This dragon named Deathwing, the aspect of death, brought the cataclysm to the world. The heroes of Azeroth joined to fight and defeat him before more destruction is brought to Azeroth. Deathwing was once called Neltharion, the earth-warder, before becoming mad by the old gods’ whispers. This incredible official wallpaper portrays the corrupted dragon.

This couple has a love story better than Titanic.

Malfurion and Elune are a powerful couple, and we don’t see them very often together in cinematics or having romantic gestures to represent their love. But this wallpaper came to save the day and deliver a beautiful romantic scene between these beloved characters sharing a unique moment.

Lich King's favorite color must be blue.

Lich King became a threat to Azeroth with the powerful sword known as Frostmourne. In the game, you can play as a Death Knight in any faction, a new breed created to serve the Frozen King. Arthas did not discriminate when raising those who fell against him, almost any race can be one of the scourge. This wallpaper is a vivid image of the leader and incredible character Arthas Menethil.

Illidan has been a favorite character for a lot of users. After having participated in a lot of stories as an enemy, he united with the heroes of Azeroth to destroy the Burning Legion, a threat to the universe. What a perfect way to have Illidan as a wallpaper that fights the legion and is ready to exterminate all.

What is Lorem Ipsum?Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.  Why do we use it?It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
