Gryphon mounts

Gryphon mounts are the flying mounts for Alliance players. They come in a variety of colors and can also be used for land travel. Until Wrath of the Lich King, these mounts were Alliance only.

Expert mounts

 * Mount Journal
 * ''They love lions in Stormwind, and the gryphon is half lion. Of course they might not like which half. - Gryphon Master Talonaxe

These mounts require Expert flying (costs to train) and cost  each. Faction reputation discounts apply to reduce the price. A player may purchase these mounts from:
 * at Wildhammer Stronghold in Shadowmoon Valley
 * at Valiance Keep in Borean Tundra
 * at Honor Hold in Hellfire Peninsula
 * in Dalaran
 * in Stormwind City

Artisan mounts

 * Mount Journal
 * The Horde had dragons, we had the gryphons. We won that war. - Ilsa Blusterbrew

These mounts cost each, and are available from the same vendors as the Expert mounts above. Again, faction reputation discounts apply.
