The Ashtongue Deathsworn are the elite of the Broken draenei tribe known as the Ashtongue. The Ashtongue tribe is led by the elder sage Akama; the Deathsworn are officially aligned with Illidan Tempestira <The Betrayer>. The Deathsworn are Akama's most trusted lieutenants and are privy to their leader's mysterious motivations.

To discover the Deathsworn as a faction, the player must begin and complete the majority of the quest line which begins with Tablets of Baa'ri ( Las tablillas de Baa'ri / Las tablillas de Baa'ri). Eventually, you will speak with Akama, whereupon you will become Neutral with the Deathsworn.
