Objectives
Rescue 10 Helpless Wintergarde Villagers and return to Gryphon Commander Urik at Wintergarde Keep.
- Helpless Villager Rescued: (10)
Description
With this whistle you can call down a Wintergarde gryphon. Mount the creature and head towards the ruins of Wintergarde Village, now known as the Carrion Fields, southeast of here. Once at the fields, keep your eyes peeled for helpless Wintergarde villagers. When you spot one, fly low and use the gryphon to pick them up. Return the rescued villager here, to the gryphon station.
There are Scourge all over the place so you'll need to keep your wits about you, hero. Good luck!
Completion
Outstanding work, <name>! We can get this keep back into working order now with the return of our citizens.
Notes
Use the whistle. Get on the gryphon. Fly to the fields below Naxxramas. Get close to the ground in front of a perpetually fleeing villager, stop moving, then hit #1 (Rescue villager). Once the villager is on your mount, fly back to the gryphon stand and hit 2 (Release villager) to drop him or her off. Repeat. Stay in the areas labeled "Wintergarde Keep" or "Carrion Fields" or you run the risk of getting thrown from your mount!
You might notice that your villagers head for the inn; when you finish the quest, the innkeeper and other npcs offering services will be phased in for you, they being the people you rescued. A wanted poster offering quests will also spawn inside the inn.
