Description
As you may or may not recall, I once helped young paladins obtain their first armored mount. It was a tedious task that involved months of obtaining materials and sending them all over Azeroth. Thankfully, times have changed and we now have most of those materials at hand. That being said, I wish to help you obtain a new mount, something worthy of your title as Highlord. In order for us to begin, I only require that you obtain a barding for us. Something strong, thick, and heavy.
