    None of these make semantic sense when applied to the actual Council of Tirisfal as we know it. Council of the Glades however does. Because the zone that we know as (the) Tirisfal Glades is a geographical unit and as such might be referred to as 'the Glades', not just 'Glades', unless some weird local dialect was applied.

    Trust me, I studied languages.
    You are absolutely correct, reason why I don't believe that it will be exclusively about the Council of Tirisfal, but something bigger.

    Exactly. Come here and give me a hug now.

    Honesty... I don't think a lot of people will care whether the title is 100% gramatically correct or not.
    If this leak is true, most people will refer to this expansion as CoG anyway.

    Why can't Boub come in here and show us his faked "Corgis 2: Electric Woofgaloo" trademark.

    The Burning Legion invades Azeroth through every zone and subzone with "glades" in the name. *Inception horn*

    A council is made to rename those places before it's too late. *Inception horn*

    The Council of Glades. *Inception horn*

    Not saying people will care, just saying, it might be an indication, that it's fake.

    It's that god-damn hamster dance thing that's been playing in Boub's stream for three hours now, it's making everything sound hilarious.

    Well, until something comes out directly from Blizzard, everything might be a fake

    So did I.

    Tirisfal is a location with a lot of glades. It's called Tirisfal Glades, plural. So it makes perfect sense. And also, there's just a poetic factor to it. The Council of Glades just sounds better than The Council of The Glades, because having multiple The's clutters up the title.

    What if Glades is a new zone?

    Also "Queen of Blades" for your semantics. I don't know StarCraft lore but I'm pretty sure Kerrigan is not queen of ALL the blades. They are strong independent blades who need don't no man queen.

    The Wrath of the Lich King. It sounds awful, they'd never use it for an expansion.

    A Wales-themed continent: Glades.

    So there's one reason why this might be fake:

    The client reference (683706 LXT/FJU/jnf) is the same reference as Warlords of Draenor. Mists of Pandaria, etc, all have different client references.

    HOWEVER

    You can manually change the client reference ID to whatever you like in your account (including previously used IDs). If I wanted to obfuscate, even for a short period, it's something I might do.

    (re: Change Client Reference
    This is where you can change your case’s client reference. Simply search and select the case you wish to update client reference on. The update will happen in real-time once you have selected Accept. Neither history nor a notification will be created for this change.)

    With that in mind.. if this report is faked, it was done pretty amazingly (and kudos to them for the crafting, at least). Comparing this report to another report of filed and under application trademarks, pretty much everything lines up. Not even a single grammatical deviation. Even the formatting is perfect.

    No definite article either can mean either all or some (as in not specific objects).

    So Queen of Blades just means she's the boss of some sharp objects.

    Damn, i don't want expansion located nowhere near tirisfal. They will ruin forsaken just like they ruined orcs and to some degree blood elves.

    They didn't. It was Wrath of the Lich King. Just one The.

    Its a fake. The Client Reference number "683706LXT/FJU/jnf" is the one for Warlords of Draenor and should be different.
