Under Down is a quest for level 10-45. It is step 6 of 14 in the Legion Skinning storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Azsuna at 47.0, 45.1. It rewards 6,150 experience and money.
Description
I can train you, though.
Everyone knows about the bright stormscales on the hippogryph's hindquarters, but did you know that they also have a few scales beneath their feathers? You just need to know where to look.
<The night elf spirit indicates a few places near the hippogryph's wing joints.>
I know it's weird, but I felt really terrible to go around killing hippogryphs for this quest. For anyone else who feels terrible about the massacre of hippogryphs, go to the area north of Azurewing repose (should show up as a blue area on the map as one of the places you can fulfill the quest). Here there are aggressive "Tormented Hippogryphs" who need to be put out of their misery. This can assuage the guilt a bit! :D

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.
Quests whose map markers the client places closest to this one on Azsuna, nearest first. Distances are straight lines between the markers.
Getting there
Flight points closest to the quest’s turn-in marker on Azsuna:
Illidari Stand, AzsunaAlliance and Horde · about 170 yards west
Azurewing Repose, AzsunaAlliance and Horde · about 760 yards north
Shackle's Den, AzsunaAlliance and Horde · about 860 yards south-east
From the turn-in, the objective areas lie:
Objective areaabout 620 yards south
Objective areaabout 540 yards north-west
Objective areaabout 400 yards south
Straight-line distances in yards between the quest’s own map markers (QuestPOI) and the client’s flight-point positions (TaxiNodes); flight paths and terrain are not modelled.
The other skinner - pair of skinners, to be honest - that comes to mind when you show me this scroll is a student of mine, named Seymour, and his mother Agnes. Last I heard, they were in Stormheim, hunting the storm drakes.
The other day, Mother and I were up at the top of the nearby mountain, and she threw her skinning knife at me because the view wasn't good enough. Her knife is still up there, somewhere. I'd feel horrible just leaving it.
Steps, storylines and map placement from the client’s QuestLine, prerequisite and QuestPOI data; neighbouring quest text is Blizzard’s own (quest API), shortened to its opening sentences.
