Firelands Hatchery

Firelands Hatchery.

The Firelands Hatchery^[38, 53] is a grotto in the Firelands where Sethria smuggled stolen eggs from Mount Hyjal to hatch her own hideous creations of birds of prey trained for war. This area can only be accessed through the flamegate in the Flamewake.

Farden Talonshrike can be found at the top near the ledge with Aviana's Guardians. He makes sure to gather all the noble guardians and get them out of the cavern before it collapses on itself. Numa Skyclaw can be found at the bottom retrieving the fallen guardians.
