| ⚫ | |||
| − | '''Akama''' is a level 70 Elite [[Broken draenei]] located at [[Warden's Cage]] in [[Shadowmoon Valley]]. He is the leader of both the [[Ashtongue tribe]] and the elite of said tribe called [[Ashtongue Deathsworn]], a faction of Broken draenei ''supposedly'' in the service of {{npc||Illidan Stormrage}}. He was an [[Draenei Elder Sage|elder sage]] of a group of [[Broken draenei]] that resided in the wilderness of [[Outland]]. Offered a chance at revenge against the [[orc]]s who decimated his people by the [[night elf]]/[[demon]] hybrid [[Illidan Stormrage]], Akama allied himself with Illidan the Betrayer and aided in the overthrow of {{npc||Magtheridon}}, only to later find that Illidan was no better than the [[pit lord]]. To all outward appearances, Akama remains a loyal servant of Illidan and leads his Ashtongue Deathsworn in his service — but away from his prying eyes, Akama sought to end Illidan's reign. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Allying with {{npc||Maiev Shadowsong}}, whom he had been charged with keeping imprisoned, Akama rallied a group of adventurers to enter the [[Black Temple]], leading up to the final battle with Illidan himself — the battle that ended the Betrayer's life. With Illidan gone, Akama hopes that the [[Holy Light]] will fill the dismal halls of the Temple once more... |
||

| − | ==Biography== |
||
| − | [[Image:BTNDranaiAkama.png|left]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | Akama is a kind but hardened [[Broken draenei]] who was once the guardian of the [[Black Temple|Temple of Karabor]]. When the [[Horde]] descended upon the Temple, Akama took charge of evacuating as many civilians as possible and then went into hiding with the remnants of the [[draenei]]. In the short story [[Unbroken (story)|''Unbroken'']], he fled from the Temple to [[Shattrath City]] before going into [[Zangarmarsh|hiding]], where he was the most exposed of the refugees to the [[fel]] energies that caused some draenei to mutate. After the cataclysm and the shattering of [[Draenor]], Akama, now an [[Draenei Elder Sage|elder sage]] of the [[Broken draenei]] survivors, was forced into the open where he fought a losing battle against the pit lord {{NPC||Magtheridon}} and his army of demons and [[Fel orc|fel orcs]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Akama found himself aided by {{NPC||Kael'thas Sunstrider}} and {{NPC||Lady Vashj}}, a [[blood elf]] and [[naga]] who had come from [[Azeroth (world)|Azeroth]] to escape the clutches of [[human]] captors. Hoping to gain allies in the fight against Magtheridon, Kael'thas and Vashj destroyed the base of the fel orc who had been raiding Akama's makeshift outpost. Akama pledged his loyalty to [[Illidan]] and aided them by attacking a larger [[orc]]ish base, keeping the enemy occupied and away from Kael'thas and Illidan as the two closed the [[dimensional gateway]]s — which were supplying constant reinforcements to Magtheridon. After that battle, the time had come to lay [[Lord of Outland|siege]] to Magtheridon's [[Black Citadel (WC3)|Black Citadel]] itself. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Akama pledged allegiance to [[Illidan]], craving vengeance on the orcs and demons who had corrupted and slaughtered his race, however, since this moment he begun planning his [[#Akama in World of Warcraft|inevitable conflict]] with Illidan.<ref>http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/wowminis/en/news/default.aspx?aid=4713</ref> Using his [[stealth]] abilities, Akama and a band of his followers snuck into Black Temple and destroyed the magical energy generators which sustained the defenses of the citadel, and then aided Illidan, Kael, and Vashj in the final attack against Magtheridon himself. |
||
| − | |||
| − | When [[Kil'jaeden]] appeared and ordered Illidan to destroy the [[Frozen Throne]], Illidan, Kael, and Vashj went as ordered, while Akama remained in [[Outland]] to guard their holdings. |

| − | [[Image:Akama's Promise.jpg|thumb|"Take this as my promise to you that when the time comes and you face Illidan, I will be on your side."]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | Akama can be found in front of {{NPC||Maiev Shadowsong}}'s cell in [[Warden's Cage]] in [[Shadowmoon Valley]]. In order to reach him, you must enter into the underground portion of Warden's Cage and look to your right at what appears to be just a pool of water. Swim into and under the pool and you will reach Maiev's cell where Akama is standing guard. |
||
| − | |||
| − | After an introductory quest chain, in which players have to prove that they are not allied with [[Illidan]], they are sent to speak with Akama. He explains that it is best for his people to continue to appear to serve Illidan until certain omens are fulfilled. He then gives a quest to speak with {{NPC||Sage Udalo}} who is being held prisoner in [[Arcatraz]], a satellite of [[Tempest Keep]]. Udalo is dead, but has left a clue behind for the next quest. |
||
| − | |||
| − | On returning from Arcatraz, Akama gives a quest to retrieve the {{loot|common|Heart of Fury}}, one of the shards of the [[Ata'mal Crystal]], from [[Ata'mal Terrace]] in [[Shadowmoon Valley]]. When this is completed, Akama sends the party to meet a [[naaru]], {{NPC||A'dal}}, in [[Shattrath City]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | {{NPC||Shade of Akama}}, the portion of Akama's soul tied to Illidan's will, is a boss in [[Black Temple]]. During the final confrontation with Illidan, Akama himself will assist you in battle, although he cannot be killed. Akama leaves the battle during the first phase and is not seen again for the remainder of the battle; however, Maiev Shadowsong arrives for the final phase and remains until Illidan's death. Akama had freed Maiev from her prison cell and led her into the Temple with the aid of players seeking to obtain the {{loot|epic|Medallion of Karabor}} that allows entry into the Temple. After Illidan is defeated, Akama swears to fill the halls of the Black Temple with Light once again.<ref>[[Illidan Stormrage (tactics)#Quotes|Akama says]]: "The Light will fill these dismal halls once again. I swear it."</ref> |

| − | |||
| − | After completing the quest entitled {{quest|Akama|Akama}}, a small scripted event between Akama and the [[dreadlord]] {{NPC||Vagath}} — one of Illidan's demon lieutenants — occurs. Vagath arrives with two demonic minions and yells out: |

| − | |||
| − | * {{npc||Vagath}}: ''Mortals, here? What is the meaning of this, pathetic [[Broken]]!'' |
||
| − | * Akama whispers to the player: ''Have no fear, <race>. Just play along.'' |
||
| − | Akama "kills" the player and reassures Vagath. |
||
| − | * Akama: ''A mere nuisance, I assure you! Tell [[Illidan|the Master]] [[Maiev Shadowsong|his prisoner]] will not escape while Akama and his [[Ashtongue Deathsworn|Deathsworn]] watch over her. |
||
| − | * {{npc||Vagath}}: ''You'd do well not to toy with me, Akama. {{npc||Illidan}} has given me strict orders to keep watch on the Warden. If I find out you are hiding anything from me, I will crush you with my bare hands!'' |
||
| − | Vagath leaves and Akama "resurrects" the player. |
||
| − | * {{npc||Akama}}: ''Forgive my harsh methods, but the Betrayer cannot learn of the truth. My secret must be kept at all costs!'' |
||
| − | In a cell behind Akama, Maiev Shadowsong speaks up. |
||
| − | * Maiev: ''If we truly desire the same thing, Akama, then release me! If Illidan is to die, it shall be by my hand!'' |
||
| − | * Akama: ''In due time, Maiev. I've spent years planning to make my move - I can't afford to put my plans in peril by tipping my hand too soon.'' |

||
| − | |||
| − | Akama is the narrator of the trailer for the [[Patch 2.1.0|Black Temple patch]]; this trailer shows his history from a guardian to his current state, and reveals his appearance prior to his mutation. At several points, it reveals events of lore: the orcs' attack on the Temple of Karabor and the draenei journey into hiding in [[Zangarmarsh]]; {{NPC||Gul'dan}}'s raising of the [[Hand of Gul'dan|volcano that bears his name]]; {{NPC||Ner'zhul}} opening his portals, leading to the creation of Outland; the arrival of Magtheridon and, later, of Illidan Stormrage; Akama, Kael'thas Sunstrider, and Lady Vashj aiding Illidan in sealing Magtheridon's portals before the final battle; and finally, Illidan claiming Black Temple. |

| − | |||
| − | ''I remember the [[Black Temple|Temple]] as it used to be: a place of worship.''<br /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | ''I prayed within its chambers and meditated among its gardens. I was happy then; at peace.''<br /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | ''I remember, too, the day the [[orc]]s came.''<br /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | ''That day marked by cries of war and torrents of blood where terrified women and children huddled in darkened corners.''<br /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | ''I led many to safety, but many more paid the ultimate price.''<br /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | ''That day my beloved sanctuary became the Black Temple.''<br /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | ''There the [[Shadow Council|orc warlocks]] practiced their twisted magic that corrupted the land and nearly destroyed us all.''<br /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | ''Even after the Horde's reckless sorcery tore the planet apart, my people were unable to find a lasting sanctuary.''<br /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | [[Image:Akama portrait.jpg|thumb|Akama in Warcraft III.]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | ''I remember the [[Burning Legion|armies of demons]] that swept down on us like a plague.''<br /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | ''During these dark times, the one called [[Magtheridon]] made the Temple his home.''<br /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | ''Then came {{npc||Illidan}}...''<br /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | ''The one they called the Betrayer; the enemy of my enemy.''<br /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | ''We helped him seal the portals of Outland and cut off the Legion's reinforcements.''<br /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | ''We fought with renewed strength, and together we reclaimed our sacred ground.''<br /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | ''I think part of me knew even then, that the Black Temple had only traded one evil master for another.''<br /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | ''I prefer to remember the Temple as it used to be; not the abomination it has become.''<br /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | ''My soul bears the burden of my misjudgment, but I have been patient; I have been waiting.''<br /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | ''And when the time is right, the Betrayer will become... the betrayed.''<br /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | == Notes == |
||
| − | [[Image:Akama.jpg|thumb|Akama in [[Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne]].]] |
||
| − | *His name is possibly a pun, as the draenei in Warcraft III fought with sickle-like weapons that may be called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kama_%28weapon%29 ''kamas''], so he used ''a kama''. In Warcraft III, he uses both the sickle-like weapon and another blade, and in World of Warcraft he uses two of the sickle-like weapons, making this likely. He still uses this type of weapon in World of Warcraft, and the same type of weapon can be seen on draenei banners. |
||
| − | *Some fans speculate that the draenei child featured in the Black Temple trailer is Akama's daughter, and that the child's mother, who was killed by an orc, was his wife. |
||
| − | *Akama used the original draenei model, now the [[Lost One]] model, in his Warcraft III appearance. It seems that his appearance has been [[retcon]]ned as opposed to multiple mutations. However his current model is a hybrid between Lost One and Broken features, he retains the mouth of a Lost One. Furthermore, like the untainted [[draenei]], his feet are still cloven. |
||
| − | *When one sees Akama in World of Warcraft, it is clear he does not quite look like his fellow Broken draenei nor the Lost One draenei. Instead, he looks half way between a Broken draenei and Lost One as seen by his strange face and the basket he carries on his back which many Lost Ones also use. In the story "[[Unbroken (story)|Unbroken]]", Akama was said to have taken in a larger amount of the fel energy that caused the draenei to mutate into the Broken draenei, which may explain his appearance. |
||
| − | *Akama can be spotted with his Warcraft III appearance in the backround of the art piece [http://www.wowwiki.com/File:Illidari_Leaders.jpg "Foes of Outland"] by [[Wei Wang]]. |
||
| − | *His quote "At my age, you see death everywhere. DEATH!", is a reference to the Simpsons. |
