Gil Grisert says: Y'hear that, Jethan? You're not getting that Steelfeather trophy now that we know she's a mother.
Trapper Jethan says: Why not? Just think how much better it'll look with the hatchlings to either side --
Gil Grisert says: Jethan!
Trapper Jethan says: What? I'm just sayin' that's how we do things in Grizzly Hills.Wow. I'm still laughing.
If you wait by the entrance to the mine in the back of the fort, she'll pat around. You don't have to be close to her to use the charm. Be quick, she moves fast.

Description
We see one brave hippogryph circling over the fort, then swooping down and taking prey. Jethan over there has taken a couple of shots at the creature, but his arrows bounced right off! We've taken to calling this remarkable creature Steelfeather, but we can't see why he prefers the area around Fort Wildervar. Most hippogryphs are wary of people. Researcher Aderan has helped us fashion a charm from one of the creature's feathers. He claims it will allow the user to see through Steelfeather's eyes.
