Quest · The Barrens · Level 25

Washte Pawne

This quest begins upon claiming a quill from Washte Pawne, a rare and revered thunderhawk drifting through the skies of the southern Barrens. Its plumage radiates an unnatural sting, compelling hunters to bring the relic to Jorn Skyseer at Camp Taurajo. For the tauren, felling this legendary avian is not a simple trophy hunt, but a profound spiritual trial of pain and regret.

The thunderhawk is a rare beast of the Barrens, and its death can portend great fortune, or great doom.

But Washte Pawne, called "Spirit Biter" in Taurahe, can bring neither... Or both.

The pain you felt from hunting Spirit Biter is the pang all feel who make great gains at great costs. The sting you felt is the pain of regret.

But I can see you have conquered this. You have learned that regret turns to wisdom, and that through pain one gains strength.

You have learned much, friend.
