Before he died, Udalo appears to have written a single word on the floor beneath him. The writing is barely legible but you recognize the word Atam'al. Perhaps Akama will understand the meaning of his brethren's message.

I hope you're not shocked when I reveal to you that the pieces of the Medallion of Karabor you obtained from my minions are mere replicas. <Akama shows you an identical medallion in his open palm.> My Deathsworn and I have kept the secret from Illidan for as long as possible.
