Further Notes
It's highly recommended tanks do not face Alkonost to avoid getting hit with Jettatura then being exposed to further TP abilities Can also avoid this by turning when you see him ready a TP move. Can be duo'd by two skilled RDM/NIN, both had 3 stones for 90mins worth of abyssea. (see testimonials)

Historical Background

The Alkonost is a legendary bird in Slavic mythology. It has the body of a bird with the head and chest of a woman. The name Alkonost came from the name of Greek demi-goddess Alcyone transformed by gods into a kingfisher. The Alkonost reproduces by laying eggs on the sea-shore then putting them into the water. The sea is then calm for six or seven days at which point the eggs hatch, bringing a storm. For the Russian Orthodox Church Alkonost personifies God's will. She lives in paradise but goes into our world to deliver a message. Her voice is so sweet that anybody hearing it can forget everything.
