Description
<Your hand burns with felfire as a scroll materializes within your grasp. The seal bears the mark of the Illidari.> {name}, as leader of the Illidari in Lord Illidan's absence, you must choose your second-in-command. Kayn or Altruis. You can only choose one. The chosen shall become your personal champion, and their ideology will color our decisions for the Illidari going forward. No matter who is chosen, our mission remains unchanged. -Kor'vas Bloodthorn
