Description

Sharpbeak is held in a cage, high on a cliff at the top of Jintha'Alor in the Hinterlands. The key to this cage is possessed by the high priestess of the Vilebranch trolls, Vile Priestess Hexx.

There. I have done my part. I bid you fortune on your quest, your name.

You've spoken with Grimshade? What did he say?

...What? The Vilebranch trolls have Sharpbeak? That's unbearable! We must organize a force to get him back!
