 * Kill Oronu the Elder and take his Orders from Akama.
 * Obtain the fragments of the Medallion of Karabor, held by the Ashtongue Corruptors. This is from the quest log: "Haalum, Corruptor of Air, can be found at Netherwing Pass.

Udalo has been captured by Kael'thas and is being held in the Arcatraz. He is dead, but find his body anyway.
 * Upon finding Udalo, you receive the next quest: Apparently the word "ata'mal" is written on the ground near him. Return to Akama.
