One would think that the hippogryphs flying around would drop quest item feathers if you kill them, but sadly they don't.

Description
The down of the spotted hippogryph is prized by my people and used for everything from fletching to ceremonial clothing. We're making preparations to leave the post, so this is the last chance I'll get to gather it this season. With your help, I'll have enough to make sure everyone has the equipment they need for the long trek into the hills. Conditions worsen very quickly up there and a storm can blow in without warning. The down can be found all over the ground in the area surrounding the post.

Where this quest fits
After this quest
Taken from a quest that requires this one.
- Keeping Watch on the Interlopers
Even the earth cannot hold back the tide of death washing over it. Corpses walk the land, spreading their putrefaction with alarming speed. A small expedition has made its way up the western cliffs and rests near Whisper Gulch. Take a look for yourself, <name>.
- The Frozen Glade
For generations, my people have told tales of frost nymphs cavorting in glades hidden away in the wilderness. I used to search for them as a child, against the advice of my parents, until I nearly froze to death. These days, it isn't necessary to comb the forests for them.
