Adventure Guide Entry

The in-game Adventure Guide text for the Drov the Ruiner encounter in Draenor.

Drov was called Ruiner by the Blackrock clans of old, who quickly learned to give the fearsome magnaron a wide berth. Drov carves a swath of devastation where he walks, as though the earth itself senses his arrival and parts to make way.
