Elusive Emerald Hawkstrider
Unseen for many years, this brightly hued hawkstrider emerged from hiding to help defend the Ghostlands from the Scourge. Its prowess shines as brilliantly as its feathers.
Acquisition Guide
The Elusive Emerald Hawkstrider is a Blood Elf racial mount obtained by completing a questline that begins in Oribos and takes you through multiple zones.
Find Lady Liadrin
Head to Oribos and find Lady Liadrin at 88.75, 37.58 near the teleport to Orgrimmar. You must be a Blood Elf and Exalted with the relevant faction to begin the questline.
Travel to Silvermoon
Accept the opening quest from Lady Liadrin and travel to Silvermoon City to meet the Matriarch, then watch the briefing dialogue that follows.
Defend Tranquillien
Click the portal next to you to enter the Tranquillien Besieged scenario, then kill 15 Scourge enemies to complete the Death to the Scourge objective. Note that Tranquillien is located in Ghostlands, south of Silvermoon through The Dread Scar — not in Eversong Woods.
Complete Magus Installation
Click the Protection Ward and defeat Vorath, then go west to 45.41, 35.15 and repeat the process, followed by heading north to 44.99, 30.84 to do it once more.
Collect the Knight's Weapon
Leave the building and take the stairs on your right to collect the required weapon for the A Knight's Weapon quest step.
Head to Bastion
For the An Honest Heart quest, travel to Bastion using the teleport to Orgrimmar located behind the quest giver, then make your way to Bastion from there.
Complete the Bastion Race
In Bastion, click the dialogue option to start the race for the A Fair Race quest, then begin running and interact with the yellow markers as they appear.
Journey to Maldraxxus
Travel to Maldraxxus to complete the An Unbreakable Will quest step before returning to finish the questline.
Return to Silvermoon
Return to Silvermoon to turn in the final quests. If you need to continue in Tranquillien, remember to travel south through The Dread Scar into Ghostlands, or fly there directly from Silvermoon.
