We see one brave hippogryph circling over the fort, then swooping down and taking prey. Jethan over there has taken a couple of shots at the creature, but his arrows bounced right off! We’ve taken to calling this remarkable creature Steelfeather, but we can’t see why he prefers the area around Fort Wildervar. Most hippogryphs are wary of people. Researcher Aderan has helped us fashion a charm from one of the creature’s feathers. He claims it will allow the user to see through Steelfeather’s eyes.

You saw a nest, with hatchlings? Hmm… so our “he” is actually a “she,” eh? I guess that settles it. I suppose I wouldn’t want to move a nest full of hatchlings just because of a new neighbor, either. (Gil favors Trapper Jethan with a mock glare.) I’m sure we’d get along just fine if ol’ Jethan would stop trying to make a trophy of her.
