Al'Akir the Windlord — Lord of Air
Vanilla WoW Classic 1.12 · x5 realm · wowx5.ruAl'Akir the Windlord is the Elemental Lord of air, ancient master of wind, storm and lightning across Azeroth. His breath births hurricanes, and his host numbers air elementals, storm spirits and cyclones that race above the peaks of the world.
Master of the skies
In young Azeroth, Al'Akir ruled the element of air at the command of the Old Gods. When the Titans came to bring order, the Windlord led his storm legions into the Elemental Sundering — and was cast down. The Titans banished him to the Elemental Plane, into boundless sky halls where he rules the cyclones to this day.
The nature of the storm
Al'Akir embodies the very unpredictability of the sky — a gentle breeze one moment, a deadly hurricane the next. Of all the Lords he is the swiftest and most elusive, and his lightning strikes without warning. He despises those who try to bind the free element of the wind.
Place in Vanilla lore
The Windlord never appears in WoW Classic itself, yet his legacy is felt wherever air reigns. Storm spirits in the mountains, air elementals in the high lands and cyclones above the peaks are shards of his eternal realm. Understanding Al'Akir changes how you see every storm over Azeroth.
Wind and shamans
The element of air is closely tied to the art of the shaman: it is to the wind that they raise their prayers, calling on speed, healing and the fury of the storm. Respect for the elements is the foundation of the shamanic tradition of the orcs and the tauren of Thunder Bluff, and Al'Akir is the unseen lord of one of those primal forces.
Bond with the other Lords
Together with Neptulon, Therazane and Ragnaros, Al'Akir is one of the four primal Elemental Lords, older than the Titans themselves. Air has long opposed earth, and the Windlord's cyclones forever quarrel with the stone of the Stonemother.
