Ally of the Netherwing
Level range	70
Zones	Shadowmoon Valley

This quest chain introduces the player to the Netherwing faction.

Only the last quest in the chain actually affects your standing with this faction, but it advances you directly to Neutral.

As one of the quest-giving NPCs is perpetually in flight, a flying mount is required to complete the quests in this chain.

Ally of the Netherwing

 [70] Kindness

Wandering the wilds of Shadowmoon Valley, you come across Mordenai in the Netherwing Fields. Mordenai pleads that you help him feed the Netherdrakes, who have been disturbed by something.

You will find out later that Mordenai, who poses as a High Elf, is the son of Karynaku and Neltharaku.

 [70] Seek Out Neltharaku

After cutting down any number of  [69] Rocknail Flayers and  [68-69] Rippers, and feeding the drakes, Mordenai suggests that perhaps  [72+]  Neltharaku, the patron of the Netherwing dragonflight, can help you discover what the problem is. This does require a flying mount, and a search of the skies over Netherwing Fields.

 [70] Neltharaku's Tale

Neltharaku asks you to hear its tale.

 [70] Infiltrating Dragonmaw Fortress

You are moved by his tale and offer to help.

Now that he has hope, Neltharaku first asks that you stir up trouble with the Dragonmaw Fortress, to buy time for him to come up with a plan. You descend upon the fortress and slaughter a few of the orcs there.

 [70] To Netherwing Ledge!

Returning, you find that Neltharaku has indeed come up with a plan. To the southeast lies Netherwing Ledge, a location abounding with [Nethervine Crystal]s. He believes that he can infuse these with enough of his own essence to break the control of the Dragonmaw.

You fly down to Netherwing Ledge. Despite the strong Dragonmaw presence, you collect a number of these crystals.

 [70] The Force of Neltharaku

Neltharaku eagerly enchants these, and passes you the result: an [Enchanted Nethervine Crystal].

You use this crystal on the  [69-71]  Enslaved Netherwing Drakes at Dragonmaw Fortress, and in turn help newly freed drakes against their former captors.

 [70G5] Karynaku

Neltharaku then asks that you find and free his mate. Unlike the lesser drakes, Karynaku lies chained at the top of Dragonmaw Fortress.

You reach the bailey of Dragonmaw Fortress, and ... arrange... a few moments to speak with Karynaku. She tells you that the chains themselves are sapping her power, keeping her there.

 [70G5] Zuluhed the Whacked

The one who holds the [key], she tells you, is Zuluhed the Whacked, Chieftain of the Dragonmaw Clan.

You challenge Zuluhed and defeat him, no mean feat. Grabbing the key from the body, you strip the chains from Karynaku.

 [70] Ally of the Netherwing

Karynaku offers to return you to Mordenai. You are fêted again, and declared an Ally of the Netherwing!
