+==Description==
-A '''goblin zeppelin''' is a form of [[transportation]] that consists of a wooden gondola attached to a large balloon, into which hot air is pumped by a [[phlogiston]] boiler. They are swift, able to make long journeys, and pass above rough terrain.{{Cite|WoWRPG|215}} They were conceived by the [[goblin]]s.{{cite|W2Man|75}}

+We believe the elemental nobles known as the Abyssal Dukes are one of the primary force organizing the Twilight's Hammer cultists. Find a way to lure the four Abyssal Dukes into our plane of existence and destroy them!
-The pilot of the zeppelin can control the direction through use of ropes which are connected to  both the steering wheel in the gondola, as well as fins on the balloon's back. Altitude is maintained or adjusted by the degree of inflation of the balloon, as well as with ballast. Moving in a direction or changing speed requires thrust, given by one or more rotors.{{Cite|WoWRPG|215}}
+Your dedication and prowess in past assignments have led us to choose you for this particular assignment. We are certain you will succeed in this endeavor.
-The zeppelin is an example of one of the most stable technological devices to be found on Azeroth (a trait uncommon of goblin inventions), and malfunctions tend to be non-threatening. Naturally, it is possible for the zeppelin to drift off course or develop a leak, but only rarely will the phlogiston boiler have difficulty, and even rarer still will it explode.{{Cite|WoWRPG|215}}

-[[Image:Zeppelinplans.jpg|thumb|left|Zeppelin schematics]]
+==Completion==
-They were first constructed and used by the [[Horde]] during the [[Second War]]. At that time, zeppelins were manned by a small team of goblins whose purpose was to spy on enemy positions. The zeppelins were cumbersome, awkward, and maintained no armament. However, at the time, they had extensive line of sight as well as the ability to spot submerged Alliance technology.{{cite|W2Man|75}}
+You have achieved a great accomplishment for our cause today, <name>.  You've vanquished some of our most powerful enemies.  For that I greatly commend you.
+== Reward ==
-Since then, zeppelins have become a widespread method of transportation, due to development by the goblins.{{Cite|M&M|188}} After the Second War, the goblins rescinded their alliance with the Horde and began selling their goods and services to the highest bidder. Throughout the course of the [[Third War]], the zeppelins were employed by both the Horde and [[Alliance]]. Their speed had increased substantially and the zeppelins were now able to travel over long distances and rough terrain, as well as carry vast numbers of troops.{{Cite|M&M|188}}
+You will be rewarded with all of the following:

+==Gains==
-They also invented other zeppelin-like "airships" that are able to ferry troops over impassable terrain.{{cite|WRPG|182}}
+Upon completion of this quest you will gain:
+*+250 [[Cenarion Circle]] reputation
-Now, in the times following the defeat of the [[Burning Legion]] at [[Mount Hyjal]], the zeppelins are employed once again by the Horde for the passage of the [[Great Sea]] between the continents. Although the goblins remain a {{reputation|neutral}} force, the Horde alone has the privilege of using the zeppelins. Goblins still offer passage to the Alliance in many locations of the world, but those zeppelins in use by the Horde are not usually used by the Alliance.
-Zeppelins come in different designs and sizes, and different zeppelins have different crew sizes. Zeppelins are manned by at least a pilot.<ref>[[Warcraft II]]</ref> {{cite|WoWRPG|215}} Sometimes they consist of a pilot and an engine tender.{{cite|M&M|188}} {{cite|DotD}} Some are manned by a pilot, navigator, and [[engineer]].{{cite|LoC|28}} Other zeppelins have eight member crews including a sky-captain, a chief officer, a navigator, three crewmen, and two [[guards]].
-It moved at 40 miles per hour in the [[Warcraft RPG]],{{cite|M&M|188}} but was changed to 15 miles per hour in the [[World of Warcraft RPG]].{{cite|WoWRPG|215}} Zeppelins can cover about five hundred miles in a twelve-hour day of travel, allowing the crew time to rest and make any necessary repairs. An [[Explorers' League|Explorer's Guild]] trip from [[Sunwell Grove]] to [[Booty Bay]] was made in just under 80 days.{{cite|LoC|28}}
-== Zeppelin routes ==
-{{Wow-section}}
-[[Image:Zeppelin.jpg|thumb|Zeppelin stationed in Orgrimmar.]]
-In ''[[World of Warcraft]]'', you will rarely see free-flying zeppelins with no specific course. They now generally follow established routes with a [[Zeppelin Tower]] at each end point. Some cargo zeppelins can be seen crashed in places.
