Around Azeroth: The Magisters' mural
Player Shisou of the Mug'thol server was exploring the new 5-man Sunwell instance, the Magisters' Terrace on the PTR. In the room with the first boss, Selin Fireheart, he found this beautiful mural on the wall. He has some speculation on its origin:
"I'm not entirely sure why the high elves would decorate their buildings with murals of themselves being subjugated by a gigantic demon overlord, so I'd have to assume that this was painted more recently by Kael's artsy fanatics."
Do you have any unusual World of Warcraft images that are just collecting dust in your screenshots folder? Because we'd love to see it on Around Azeroth! Sharing your screenshot is as simple as e-mailing aroundazeroth@wow.com with a copy of your shot and a brief explanation of the scene. You could be featured here next!
Remember to include your player name, server and/or guild if you want it mentioned. We prefer full screen shots without the UI showing. And please, no more sunsets. No, really. Ok, only if it's a sunrise in new Patch 2.4 lands. We'll take those anytime. Oh, and no more shots of Omen killed in Ogrimmar. It's cool, we get it. A lot of it.

I'm surprised you didn't mention - that's very plainly Diablo, the Lord of Terror himself.

Except Diablo doesn't have wings...

Well this could be a representation of what happened in the war of the ancients with the high elf queen using the original sunwell to summon sargeras into azeroth.

Yay, that's my screenshot! :D
Anyway, it's hard to say exactly what it's representing. It could be a representation of the War of the Ancients (a warning, perhaps), however Sargeras doesn't have wings, and doesn't really look too demonic. If that's the case, it also didn't do a very good job reminding Kael's followers of the Highborne's past mistakes -- that, or they fully embrace the Legion's practices.
The demon *looks* the most like Kil'Jaeden, especially the collar and wings, so again, it makes me think that the murals are recent additions by Kael's blood elves, in honor of their new lord.
