Ignore the massive area outlined on the minimap for this quest. As the name implies, Cliffwing Hippogryphs spawn on the cliffs overlooking the water along the southwestern edge of the supposed quest area (above the first "O" in Oceanus Cove, around 46.5, 61).

Where to go
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.

Just cozy up to these beautiful, gentle creatures, talk to them a bit to make them perfectly comfortable and, without giving them any hint about your next move, one-shot them humanely. They may not understand, but it's clearly for the greater good. Expect to slaughter more that 12; the drop rate is mediocre, unless you skin.
Forever Rise. South part of this quest takes place where good old night elves are RP'ing again. Only, this time a male and female ghost are getting married. For a second, you are like, "Nah, that's total B.S., you just copied this." Then, you stop. "But, they are night elves, so yeah, it's legit."
