Notes and sources
Alliance characters only. The journal's cost of 15 is Marks of Honor: the mount's wiki page (edited 2026) has 15 Mark of Honor from Lieutenant Karter outside the Champions' Hall in Stormwind City. Her coordinates are the wiki's, as read for the Black Battlestrider and the Black War Ram (76.1, 65.4); her own page was not opened again.
Marks bind to the Warband (wiki, since patch 11.0.2), so they can be earned on any character and spent by an Alliance one; they sit in the bags, not in the currency pane. This is as for the Black Battlestrider and the Black War Ram, which have the same vendor and price. Which Honor vendor sells the Distinguishments in Midnight was not established for them and was not looked up again here.
The wiki has it asking for level 17 and Apprentice Riding since patch 9.0.1 and costing 15 Marks of Honor since patch 7.0.3; the item binds when picked up. The mount has two items: the wiki gives 29468 as the retail item and 18241 as the Classic one. Wowhead's tooltip for 18241 names this vendor and price; 29468 was not checked, and Wowhead's page for the mount was not read.
Confidence in this entry: high. Looked up in 2026.
