Adventure Guide Entry

The in-game Adventure Guide text for the Akil'zon encounter in Zul'Aman.

As a former shaman of the Amani tribe, Akil'zon had a preternatural ability when working with the element of air. This talent caught the eye of Hex Lord Malacrass and made finding a host for the trolls' eagle god an easy task.
