One such weapon is The Infinite Hand, which drops from an Infinite-corrupted version of Tyr and has a unique ability that grants a powerful buff to the wielder, but only in Titan facilities.
Players are well-acquainted with Uldaman, Ulduar, Uldum, and Uldir, as all of them appear as zones, dungeons, andraids fromWorld of Warcraft’shistory. Though Uldorus may not sound familiar, it is the official name of Tyrhold, where the Halls of Infusion dungeon is located. Uldaz, however, has not appeared in game yet, and has only been mentioned once before inBattle for Azeroth.
The fact this weapon is directly mentioned by a weapon’s effect could meanWorld of Warcrafthas plans for Uldaz in the future. The facility’s location and purpose is unknown, soWoWcould put it anywhere. That said, Benoit Blanka, aWorld of Warcraftdeveloper responsible for creating this item, seemed to indicate they included Uldaz as an Easter egg, which suggests it may just be a nod to established lore. Either way, players got a kick out of it, and while the ability is not useful in much current endgame content right now, it is extremely flavorful.
