Akama (quest)

The quest Akama leads the player to finally meet the elusive Ashtongue Deathsworn leader.

Speak to Akama inside the hidden chamber in the Warden's Cage.

You've proven what side you're on. I will reveal to you our leader's hideout.

Follow the halls beyond; there will be an underground passage hidden by stagnant water on your right.

I must warn you,. You are not to speak to anyone of what you see there.

Hail,. There is much we need to talk about.

I hope your mind is an open one. The decisions I make are not understood by many. Only my closest collaborators have understanding of the portents I see and the signs I await.

When I joined forces with Illidan it was based on visions foretelling that otherwise my race would have been destroyed. I've waited patiently for other signs and visions to come to pass... Velen's exodus... the opening of the Dark Portal... and now... your arrival.

• Jump in the pool of water at the end of the hall. At the bottom of the pool is a short tunnel that leads to a hidden section. You can find near the water at the other end of the tunnel.
• After you talk to Akama and complete this quest, a short scripted event will happen. After completing the quest, a small scripted event between Akama and the dreadlord — one of Illidan's demon lieutenants — occurs. Several demons appear and Akama will "kill" you in order to preserve the fiction that he is on Illidan's side. Vagath arrives with two demonic minions and yells out:

• yell
• whisper
• Akama "kills" the player and reassures Vagath.
• yell
• say
• Vagath leaves.
• say
• Akama "resurrects" the player. In a cell behind Akama, Maiev Shadowsong speaks up.

Once the event is over, Akama will bring you back to life.
