From Rut'theran, there are two methods of travel to Auberdine: by ferry and by hippogryph.  Both are quick and reliable, but if you have not yet flown to Auberdine by hippogryph, then I suggest you do.$B$BIt is sound advice to speak with the hippogryph master in every town that has one.  Once you speak to the master, you can then fly there from other towns.$B$BHere is Nessa's collection.  Speak with me again when you are ready to fly to Auberdine and deliver Nessa's collection to Laird.
