Into The Scarlet Monastery: Horde quest guide (Classic Era baseline)
Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.
Into The Scarlet Monastery is the Horde's big Scarlet Monastery quest. Varimathras in the Undercity sends you to kill High Inquisitor Whitemane and her three lieutenants: Scarlet Commander Mograine, Herod and Houndmaster Loksey. It's level 42, needs level 33, is Horde only and is sharable. This page also covers the four other Horde quests files under Scarlet Monastery, and the chains that lead into them.
This is the Horde companion to our Alliance page, In the Name of the Light, which already covers Brother Crowley, Brother Anton, Down the Scarlet Path and Raleigh the Devout. For the one-table list of every SM quest, see Scarlet Monastery quests.

The lead-in chains (series)
Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.
Into The Scarlet Monastery itself has no lead-in. Two of the other Horde SM quests do.
Hearts of Zeal: Going, Going, Guano! first
Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.
| # | Quest | Level | What you do |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Going, Going, Guano! | 33 | Bring 1 pile of Kraul Guano to Master Apothecary Faranell in the Undercity |
| 2 | Hearts of Zeal | 33 | Bring Faranell 20 Hearts of Zeal from the Scarlet Monastery |
the listed series box puts Going, Going, Guano! Before Hearts of Zeal, so you need the guano first. Players have reported that the guano comes from bats in Razorfen Kraul (commenter note, ). The required level for Going, Going, Guano! Is.
Test of Lore: the long Thousand Needles chain
Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.
The SM Test of Lore is step 4 of a ten-quest chain, and you can't take it on its own.
| # | Quest | What you do (tooltip) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Test of Faith | Leap from the planks overlooking Thousand Needles |
| 2 | Test of Endurance | Bring Grenka's Claw to Dorn Plainstalker in Thousand Needles |
| 3 | Test of Strength | Bring Fragments of Rok'Alim to Dorn Plainstalker (level 30) |
| 4 | Test of Lore | Find Braug Dimspirit near the entrance to Talondeep Path, Stonetalon Mountains |
| 5 | Test of Lore | Find the Legacy of the Aspects and return it to Braug Dimspirit |
| 6 | Test of Lore | Answer Braug Dimspirit's question |
| 7 | Test of Lore | Find Parqual Fintallas in the Undercity |
| 8 | Test of Lore | The SM step: bring Parqual the Beginnings of the Undead Threat |
| 9 | Test of Lore | Answer Parqual Fintallas' question |
| 10 | Final Passage | Speak to Dorn Plainstalker in Thousand Needles |
the listed quest text for 1160 says the book is "in the library there", so it's a Library run. Commenters place it in a side room on the left with an open book on a table (commenter notes, ).
Compendium of the Fallen: not for Forsaken
Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.
limits Compendium of the Fallen to orcs, tauren and trolls, so an undead character can't take it. It has no lead-in. Commenters put the book on the bookshelves as you enter the Athenaeum in the Library, just before the last boss (commenter notes, ).
Vorrel's Revenge: starts inside, ends in Hillsbrad
Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.
Vorrel Sengutz is listed as standing inside Scarlet Monastery. Players have reported that he's in the Graveyard wing, on a torture rack (commenter note, ). His quest text sends you after Interrogator Vishas's wife, Nancy, "who lived along Lake Lordamere", to get the ring back. You hand it to Monika Sengutz in Tarren Mill, Hillsbrad Foothills 62.6, 19.0. Players have reported that Nancy is a level 33 elite in a lakeside house in Alterac Mountains, with a level 34 elite beside her (commenter notes, ).
Steps
Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.
- Undercity. Take Into The Scarlet Monastery from Varimathras (56.2, 92.6). While you're in the city, take Hearts of Zeal from Master Apothecary Faranell (48.4, 69.4) if you've done Going, Going, Guano!, and Test of Lore from Parqual Fintallas (57.8, 65.0) if you're on that chain.
- Thunder Bluff (orc, tauren or troll only). Take Compendium of the Fallen from Sage Truthseeker (34.6, 47.2).
- Graveyard wing. Pick up Vorrel's Revenge from Vorrel Sengutz. Commenters say the Graveyard isn't needed for any boss kill on this quest (commenter note, ).
- Library wing. Kill Houndmaster Loksey and loot both books (Beginnings of the Undead Threat, Compendium of the Fallen). Hearts of Zeal drop from the Scarlet mobs as you go; commenters say the guards outside drop them too (commenter notes, ).
- Armory and Cathedral. Kill Herod in the Armory, then Mograine and Whitemane in the Cathedral. Our Scarlet Monastery guide lists both wings as needing The Scarlet Key in Classic Era (Forever ).
- Alterac and Tarren Mill. Get the ring from Nancy, then hand Vorrel's Revenge to Monika Sengutz in Tarren Mill.
- Hand in. Back in the Undercity, turn in to Varimathras, Faranell and Parqual. Return to Thunder Bluff for the Compendium.
The four kills
Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.
| Boss | Level | Wing |
|---|---|---|
| Houndmaster Loksey | 34 elite | Library |
| Herod <The Scarlet Champion> | 40 elite | Armory |
| Scarlet Commander Mograine | 42 elite | Cathedral |
| High Inquisitor Whitemane | 42 elite | Cathedral |
Boss levels are. Wings are as listed on our Scarlet Monastery dungeon pages. Each kill is a separate objective (1 of each), so you can spread them over several runs. The Alliance quest In the Name of the Light has the same four targets.
Maps (Classic Era baseline)
Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.
Map pins: coordinates. The outlines are decorative. Vorrel Sengutz and the bosses aren't pinned, because they're inside the instance. Nancy isn't pinned, because her location is only from commenters.
Rewards (Classic Era baseline, choose one per quest)
Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.
| Quest | Reward choices |
|---|---|
| Into The Scarlet Monastery | Sword of Omen (one-hand sword), Prophetic Cane (held in off-hand, +12 Intellect, +5 Stamina), Dragon's Blood Necklace (neck, +12 Stamina, +5 Spirit) |
| Compendium of the Fallen | Forcestone Buckler (shield, +8 Spirit, +3 Stamina), Vile Protector (shield, +4 Strength, 1% chance to deal Shadow damage when struck), Omega Orb (off-hand, up to +11 spell damage and healing) |
| Vorrel's Revenge | Grimsteel Cape (back, +6 Stamina, +2 Agility), Mantle of Woe (cloth shoulders, +7 Intellect, +4 Spirit), Vorrel's Boots (leather feet, +8 Agility, +2 Stamina) |
| Hearts of Zeal, Test of Lore | No item; XP and reputation only |
The three Varimathras rewards are item level 44 and Binds when picked up.'s Sword of Omen tooltip shows stats from a different game version, so we give only its type. Forever stats are; Blizzard's notes say various dungeon quest rewards dropped from Rare to Uncommon.
WoW Forever notes
Community-reported, not yet confirmed by Blizzard.
- Rewards. The same notes say "Various Dungeon Quest Rewards have had their rarity lowered to Uncommon from Rare." They don't name these quests.
- Availability. Scarlet Monastery is in Blizzard's beta dungeon list, but the beta notes cap levels at 30, and these quests need 25–33. Nobody has tested most of them on Forever yet.
