Ruse of the Ashtongue

Travel into Tempest Keep and slay Al'ar while wearing the Ashtongue Cowl. Return to Akama in Shadowmoon Valley once you've completed this task.

Olum's sacrifice was tremendous. I would never have asked him to give up his life myself. But it is done. If we're to lure Illidan back into a false sense of security, we need to do his bidding - at least for now. I command a vast army of Ashtongue, but - aside from the Deathsworn - none can be trusted. You are to perform the deed that Illidan demands. Take this cowl; it is magical in nature. You will appear to be one of my men to any who see you slaying Kael's phoenix, Al'ar.
