Adventure Guide Entry
The in-game Adventure Guide text for the Kor'kron Dark Shaman encounter in Siege of Orgrimmar.
Haromm and Kardris trained thousands of shaman to whisper reverently to the elements to requisition their aid. The army of Garrosh, however, does not ask - they take what they desire in the name of the True Horde. Dark Shamanism forces the elements into servitude, twisting them into burned-out ash, corrupted waters, and toxic air.
