Meet Akalaz, who is a strong, bulky liger from Nedra. He's in fact one of the strongest warriors in all of Ti'wenkai, able to break spine and crack skulls of most hardy lions with just one swipe of a paw. Xaxas had learned it the hard way, paying only with a dislocated shoulder. Although mighty and strong, Akalaz has a soft, kind streak to those who know how to approach him.

Anduin is the youngest among V'dan's students. Most of the time, he observes his fellows at spar and serves as a courier. He is a very kind child and Akalaz treats him like a little brother. Those who'd wish ill for the child could just as much as dig their own graves. =)
