Blizzard recently released a preview of the big nasty axe Shadowmourne. The preview contains quite a lot of information and lore around the axe that might be the weapon needed to destroy Arthas.

It's also discussed in the preview what is believed to be needed to forge the weapon, and some of the weaponsmiths believe that Shadowmourne is just an ordinary axe that's been crafted with insane perfection. Others have a more "mysical" idea about how the weapons needs to be forged.

To contain the energies that dance across its cold edges, Shadowmourne must be hewn from piles of impure Saronite: the hardened blood of the Old God, Yogg-Saron, treated only by master metal-shapers.
To fuel its power to kill, it is vital that Shadowmourne be drenched in the souls of the most potent servants of the Scourge as they are slain, one by one, with the unfinished blade.
To help break through the Lich King's armor, Shadowmourne is to be adorned with fragments of the Frozen Throne, originally crafted by Kil'Jaeden out of ice from the Twisting Nether.

If we look at other legendary weapons in World of Warcraft's history, this doesn't just sound like lore but it does remind me of a shopping list for one fancy axe.
