How to get Neutral with Netherdrake (Netherdrake Epic Mount Quest Starter)
A list by Greengoo

1. Kindness
- Kill 8 Rocknail Flayers, Use Carcasses to Feed 8 Dragons (don't move!). Also make sure to travel a bit when laying the meat, as the same drakes won't eat twice in a row.

2. Seek Out Neltharaku
- Fly on your mount and find Neltharaku, he patrols slowly around Dragonmaw about a few hundred feet up. You'll have to be about 5 yards UNDER him to talk to him.

3. Neltharaku's Tale
- Listen to story.
http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=10814

4. Infiltrating Dragonmaw Fortress
- Kill 15 of any type of orcs in the fortress.

5.To Netherwing Ledge!
- Find 12 Crystals from the floating island SE of the mainland.

6. The Force of Neltharaku
- Free 5 Dragons by using the item on them, then killing the orcs they agro.

7. Karynaku
- Find Karynaku, she's the second story of the fortress.
http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=10858

8. Zuluhed the Whacked
- Kill Zuluhed and recover the key. I recommend pulling him inside so as to avoid the archers, and kill him BEFORE he summons his add. Use the key he drops to free Karynaku.

9. Ally of the Netherwing
- Return to Mordenai, you will immediately gain 42,000 rep and become neutral.

Description

It shames me to ask for your assistance once more, {name}, but you are my flight's only hope. Without my mate, the netherwing brood may die out completely. Make your way to the top of Dragonmaw Fortress and find Karynaku. We will be flying overhead. Should a break appear in their defenses, the might of the netherwing will swoop down to assist you.

    Take this enchanted nethervine crystal and make your way back to Dragonmaw Fortress. Once there, seek out the enslaved drakes and invoke the magic of the nethervine crystal. My own energies will pour forth, causing the drakes to break free from the bond of their captors.

  • Zuluhed the WhackedShadowmoon Valley · Level 25-30

    He hides in my thoughts, mortal. He waits for me to break... for me to bend to his will. And this will be his undoing. I will call for him. I will tell him that I will do as he asks. When he appears, kill him and take the key! Know this: Zuluhed is an ancient orc with unknown powers.
