Teaser From One of D3's Biggest Chinese Fan Sites
A banner on one of China's biggest D3 fan sites, burning up to reveal what is supposed to be an expansion teaser, was pointed to us by DamienJohn. The burnt area is getting wider every day and right now, on Day 6, we can already spot cathedral windows sneaking up on the background.
Of course, this could simply be nothing major at all or even a creative way for the site to introduce its own redesign, but only time (and people working on said site) can tell the truth.
Check out the progress in the images bellow and if you have more information about the site's teasing project, let us know in the comments!

Sure it has. It changed last night at 9.30 PM AEST (my time in Australia) and has been changing every night at that same time. So the next change should be in about 2 1/2 hours.
Yes what's with that? Always bothered me too!

Here is a rundown of what I think I can see;

Thnaks, Molster!
The structure looks heavenly, whatever's in the lower right corner looks more hell-ish. But Diablo already attacked the high heavens, so maybe this time, the angels attack hell...? Or maybe it will show a corrupted Imperius
Even if it's fully revealed, it might still yield an interesting debate. May you remember this guy:
With how Blizz treats the Asian WoW crowd, it's not far fetched that they would give the teaser to a news site over there.
Moreover, doing so starts this big ol' internet-wide hunt for answers, which is ultimately damn good PR. We already got a teaser on the EU/US sites ("Reaper of Souls"). Viral campaigns like these create hype and debates, which again, is good PR.
But that's just my take on it.
After seeing the Prophecy of the End Days in the Book of Cain and then watching the final cinematic, I kind of figured the Wisdom line really meant Tyrael. Whether it will or not, we shall soon see, but the preview from Book of Tyrael (where being a mortal in Heaven isn't a good thing, and he 'fled' from either the Court of Jusitce or Heaven itself) as well as language in the books description naming him a 'former archangel' may indicate it does mean Wisdom is lost because he couldn't handle it as a mortal.
edit: I was looking at an older version of the pic. So the part about Malthael doesn't seem probably at this point, but the point about the Soulstone being in heaven showing story progress (and thus, the teaser *must* be real) does.
After a bit of digging!
Here is the latest URL and picture, it's the same path for each picture, the number sequence denotation changes though, in this case d3-1-8-bg.jpg
