A’dal is a member of the Naaru and leader of the faction known as the Sha’tar. After the Draenei were forced to abandon Shattrath City which had been reduced to ruin, (Shattrath City has previously been considered the Draenei capital – that role is now filled by The Exodar) the Sha’tar were drawn to Shattrath and A’dal chose to use it as their base of operations against the Burning Legion. A’dal is also responsible for deciding on a regular basis which faction, the Aldor or the Scryers, is sent to assist the Naaru known as Xi’ri in Shadowmoon Valley.

A line from Khadgar seems to state that A’dal’s sheer force of will is enough to keep their enemies at bay, giving hints to the power the Naaru and The Sha’tar hold.
