Notes and sources
Alliance characters only. The journal's cost of 15 is Marks of Honor (wiki: the mount's page and the vendor's list both say 15 Mark of Honor). Coordinates are the wiki's for Lieutenant Karter, the same as for her other mounts in this guide.
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. The wiki names a seller of the Distinguishments only for Valdrakken (Seltherex, in a hotfix note of January 2023); which Honor vendor sells Marks in Midnight was not established, as for the Black War Elekk.
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 mount has two items: the wiki gives 29465 as the retail item and 18243 as the Classic one. Wowhead's tooltip for 18243 names this vendor and price; 29465 was not checked, and Wowhead's page for the mount was not read.
Confidence in this entry: high. Looked up in 2026.
