Save Sharpbeak!

When you hand it in

Swiftwind and Keenclaw returned with their child moments ago, and are fussing over him like new parents. Seeing them together again is enough to give even this old dwarf mist in the eyes...

We cannot repay you enough for what you have done, ‹name›. The gryphons of Aerie peak, and their riders, will sing your name for a long, long time.
