== Background == {{Warcraft-section}} {{wow|Falstad Wildhammer}} first gained notoriety as the leader of a group of gryphon riders that patrolled {{wow|Lordaeron}}'s shores against dragons after the {{wow|Second War}}, earning him the name Falstad Dragonreaver. Despite his skill against the giant creatures, Falstad is also one of the most respected humanoids alive in the eyes of the {{wow|Red dragonflight}} due to his participation in the mission to rescue [[Alexstrasza]] from the {{wow|Dragonmaw clan}} at the fortress of {{wow|Grim Batol}}. Following the presumed death or retirement of High Thane {{wow|Maz Drachrip}} of the Wildhammer clan, Falstad became the new High Thane. Ruling from his seat at {{wow|Aerie Peak}} in the {{wow|Hinterlands}}, Falstad had officially maintained neutrality in the war between the {{wow|Horde}} and {{wow|Alliance}}, despite his leanings towards the latter. This allowed the Wildhammers to avoid open hostilities with the {{wow|Revantusk tribe|Revantusk trolls}}, though isolated skirmishes were not necessarily rare occurrences in the Hinterlands due to limited territory and the natural animosity between the two races. This neutrality would prove to be short lived. With the Revantusk trolls to the east and the {{wow|Undercity|Forsaken capital}} only a short distance to the northwest, as well as the growing threat of the {{wow|Scourge}}, Falstad found himself squeezed from three sides and worked to rebuild the relationship between the Wildhammers and the Alliance. When {{wow|Magni Bronzebeard}}, King of Ironforge and head of the {{wow|Bronzebeard clan}} fell prey to a {{wow|The Shattering: Prelude to Cataclysm|curse that turned him to crystal}}, a council with a representative from each major dwarven clan was formed to succeed him. Falstad, representing the Wildhammer clan, now rules alongside [[Moira|Moira Thaurissan]] of the {{wow|Dark Iron clan}} and [[Muradin|Muradin Bronzebeard]], King Magni's brother. Falstad's gryphon mount, {{wow|Swiftwing}}, is a minor character from the {{wow|Hinterlands}} leveling zone. Said to be the mightiest gryphon living in the Wildhammer dwarven capital of {{wow|Aerie Peak}}, Swiftwing has a mate, {{wow|Keenclaw}}, and a son, {{wow|Sharpbeak}}. Saving Sharpbeak from capture by the Vilebranch forest troll tribe was the focus of a quest in Vanilla WoW, but other than that Swiftwing has no other involvement with the plot.
