Afterward, you will have to speak with Charon, who will be just behind you when the cutscene with August ends.

Speaking with Charon will reveal that taking down the Griffin is the best way to proceed. To find the Griffin, the next step is to reveal its identity using the Hunt Board. Head over to the Hunt Board using your waypoint and talk to Nektar. Ask about the Griffin sightings, and Nektar will tell you about Dozmare, which is the troublesome Griffin.
