The Test of Skulls, Axtroz

Travel to Grim Batol and track down Axtroz, drake champion of the Red Flight. Destroy him and take his skull. Return the skull to Emberstrife.
The Skull of Axtroz

Description

It was over the mountains of Grim Batol that our Father raged against the combined might of the Aspects. The cowardly act of the betrayer, Alexstrasza, bought the other Aspects enough time to escape from Father's wrath.

Sssuch a shameful act...

The Red Flight now guards Grim Batol, their lieutenant, Axtroz, must be destroyed. Return the skull of Axtroz to me. For Father, whelp!

Progress

Changesss... I sense them taking place in you, whelp. Pass this test and only ceremony remains.

Completion

I had doubted your dedication, whelp. You persisted, dominating our enemies, bringing honor to our flight.

I must now prepare the skulls for your ascension.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 660 experience (39 60 at max. level)

The screenshot shown is not axtroz, but a PC disguised to talk to Emberstrike. (unless it has been updated and I have not checked this post).

Axtroz is a dragon found in the wetlands (below Arathi Highlands).
Start walking on the eastward path from the center and you can't miss him.
He is alone (without patrol guards) however there are other enemies in the area, so if you're doing this on level, consider bringing friends.
A map of where to find Axtroz can be found https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=12899 here.

If you've just accepted this quest, the quickest way to Wetlands and back is to pop into Theramore and hitch a ride on the alliance boat to Menethil.

There is a 75 non-elite on the boat, so if you're doing it on level, be careful. Otherwise just keep an eye out for alliance players who may not appreciate your presence.
