This is a *wonderful* area to farm leather for all you skinners / leatherworkers! There's nothing but wolves to worry about, they're dead easy to spot from afar, and they're fairly easy to take down. I had to post this 'cause I've unintentionally spent the last hour farming leather and I made off like a bandit.

What to do
Description
We do everything we can to protect our kin and our gryphons. That includes chasin' off predators, whether they be from the forest or from the Horde. I won't ask you to save us from two-legged monsters just yet. Mangy silvermane prowl the woods to the south where our gryphons range, and they're known to get 'em if they stray too low. Hunt a few of the silvermane and make sure they know our gryphons aren't food.

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Razorbeak Friends
Our clan reveres the gryphon as a sacred animal. They're majestic creatures of the skies, and more than just beasts; they're intelligent and cunning. Some say we keep them, but it's more of a friendship. If you want to befriend the Wildhammer here, first befriend our gryphons!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Out to the Front
We need your help with somethin' more pressin', <name>. The Horde's been gettin' bolder out here. They've moved in on our territory and started attackin' us outright. The Revantusk forest trolls are attackin' Stormfeather Outpost in broad daylight! I need you to help out.
