Description

The son of our mightiest gryphon is gone! Swiftwing's heir, Sharpbeak, was lost while hunting with his parents a few days ago, and we believe it was the trolls who took him.

You must aid us! Search the cages in the two Witherbark troll villages to see if Sharpbeak is there.

In progress

Have you searched the cages, your name? We must find Sharpbeak!

Completion

Sharpbeak wasn't at the villages? Hm... this is grim news. That gryphon is destined to lead the next generation of gryphons. If he is lost then the strength and spirit of our fleet will suffer immensely.
