| − | '''Gryphon riders''' are the air power of the [[Alliance]], the men who fly through the air and risk their lives in an aerial blitzkrieg. To a man (or woman), they describe their job as the most exhilarating in the Alliance. Wearing a breastplate and a jaunty leather cap, the stout, friendly Wildhammer dwarf stays close to his steed. In combat, the gryphon rider's tactics are surprisingly similar to those of normal cavalry; they charge in, strike a blow, and get out before the opponent can launch a counterattack. As one gryphon rider puts it: "If they've got no spellcasters or missile troops, battle's a picnic." They usually use an axe as a weapon, and they are never without their stormhammers.<ref>''[[Alliance Player's Guide]]'', pg. 187</ref> |

| − | During the [[Second War]], dwarven gryphon riders came from the ominous and foreboding peaks of [[Northeron]]. Mounted upon their legendary beasts and wielding the mystic [[stormhammer]]s forged deep within the secret chambers of their aviaries, these feral dwarves fear no enemy — and rely upon no friend. They have allied themselves only with the [[elves]] of [[Quel'Thalas]], distrusting both their [[Ironforge dwarf|dwarven cousins]] and the [[humans]] alike. When the call to battle is sounded, however, they can be counted upon to fight alongside any who oppose the [[Horde]].<ref>[[Warcraft II]] manual, pg. 48</ref> |

| Previous | Rallying the Troops |

Objectives
Kurun on the hill overlooking Thor Modan wants you to kill Iron Thane Argrum.
Iron Thane Argrum slain
Description
If we can't overcome the defenders inside Thor Modan, the iron dwarves can hold out forever. The Earthen are bravely taking on the constructs built by the sons of iron, but they cannot break into the city.
The tunnels narrow too quickly for my fellow giants to be of use, so our options are few. Would you be willing to venture into the city and kill the dwarf commanding the resistance?
Rewards
You will be able to choose one of these rewards:
|
[Forge-Scarred Sandals] | 
|
[Iron-Shatter Leggings] | |
|
[Flame-Tested Chestguard] | 
|
[Grips of Flawed Temper] |
You will also receive: 5 90
Progress
Were you able to kill the commander?
Completion
Well done, <name>. The loss of the iron dwarf commander should be enough to break the remaining defenders. The Earthen should be able to deal with the survivors.
Notes
The Iron Thane is near the (NE) end of the trench. If you cannot fly and don't want to wade through all the mobs (possibly "again") to get to the thane, you could climb onto any of the middle pillars and jump into the water. There are also some (many?) spots where a fall is not necessarily fatal.
The Runic Prophecies is another quest that sends you deep into Thor Modan, and can usefully be done at the same time as this one.
The Alliance quest chain starting with Softening the Blow also sends the character into Thor Modan.
