Objectives

Free 6 Argent Hippogryph Riders from Aldur'thar.

• Argent Hippogryph Rider rescued (6)

Description

Maintaining a watchful eye on the Cult of the Damned has proven challenging... and perilous.

Several of our hippogryph riders recently ran afoul of the cult's winged terrors. Though a few were able to escape, the others were captured and brought to Aldur'thar.

Do what you can to free them from their captors. We cannot afford to lose any more of our forces.

Rewards

You will receive:

• [Argent Commendation]
• 23 40
• 6,800 XP
• +75 reputation with Argent Crusade

Progress

Have our riders been located?

Completion

You have my gratitude.

I assure you this will not be forgotten.

Notes

Pick up both quests before moving out.

Kill Vile Torturers and Dark Worshippers at the north end of Aldur'thar and loot a  [Torturer's Key] from their corpses. Argent Hippogryph Riders are chained down to literally anything. A key will be required for each rider.

Freeing hippogryph riders

• Argent Hippogryph Rider says: Light guide me.
• Argent Hippogryph Rider says: Go! Before more come.
• Argent Hippogryph Rider says: Now these cultists are truly damned!
• Argent Hippogryph Rider says: You have my gratitude, <class>.
• Argent Hippogryph Rider says: Time for retribution.

PTR version

The subject of this section did not make it out of the PTR stages.

Description

Keeping a watchful eye on our cultist friends has proven to be rather difficult. While most of these missions have been successful in gathering information, others have not been so lucky.

Recently, several of our riders failed to escape the Scourge's winged terrors, grounding them atop the terrace to the northeast. I fear for their safety.

Do what you can to free them from their captors.

We cannot afford to lose any more of our own.
