Icon of Torment

The next piece of Wowjewellery I had made was the Icon of Torment which is the Crest for the Forsaken Undead, this was to immortalise my Undead Rogue who I had many happy times with in World of Warcraft Battlegrounds.

The Forsaken are humanoids transformed into the Undead, with all the powers associated with the Scourge. They serve the Banshee Queen Sylvanas, looking up to her as their saviour for delivering them from the Lich King’s dominance.

When the Lich King’s power weakened during the events surrounding the Frozen Throne, Sylvanas managed to free herself from Prince Arthas grasp. She also freed many other Undead as well, and recruited powerful allies from the Burning Legion and the surrounding Ogre clans.

Sylvanas then defeated the attempt by the three Dreadlords, Balnazzar, Varimathras, and Detheroc to regain control over the Undead forces in Lordaeron, killing two and forcing the third Varimathras into her service in exchange for sparing his life. Sylvanas named her new force the Forsaken and pronounced herself Queen, and the Undead established their capital in the labyrinthine crypts beneath Lordaeron’s capital city. Their sprawling subterranean realm is called Undercity.

The Icon of Torment symbolizes the Undead leader Sylvanas Windrunner - the “shattered face”, the worn arrows, the tears and the raven on the shield are all symbols of the Forsaken Undead.

The Undead are represented by worn, breaking chains in the Crest of the Horde.

IMO this pendant is very striking and makes the ideal Warcraft Gift for any Gamer.
