Earlier today news emerged from some corner of the Internet that Blizzard, them of World of Warcraft, Diablo, Starcraft and Hearthstone fame, had supposedly registered a new trademark - Council of Glades. The Internet immediately went into cross-referencing it against every bit of game lore Blizzard had.
The news came out of MMO Champion and showed off a document registering the trademark with New Zealand's IP office on the 25th, covering all devices a game could be made for as well as online game and news that would tie into Battle.net. With a big event in Gamescom coming up soon, it seemed we knew something we could expect to see...
... Or not. As someone pointed out over Twitter later on: it's fake.
@Elvinelol Its a fake. The Client Reference number is the one for Warlords of Draenor and should be different

That's disappointing, but with Gamescom still to come it does mean we can once again get back to wondering just what new wonders it'll bring (likely to see more HS Grand Tournament cards revealed).
