Story

From Blizzard's Official site:

The Monastery was once a proud bastion of Lordaeron's priesthood - a center for learning and enlightenment. With the rise of the undead Scourge during the Third War, the peaceful Monastery was converted into a stronghold of the fanatical Scarlet Crusade. The Crusaders are intolerant of all non-human races, regardless of alliance or affiliation. They believe that any and all outsiders are potential carriers of the undead plague - and must be destroyed. Reports indicate that adventurers who enter the monastery are forced to contend with Scarlet Commander Mograine - who commands a large garrison of fanatically devoted warriors. However, the monastery's true master is High Inquisitor Whitemane - a fearsome priestess who possesses the ability to resurrect fallen warriors to do battle in her name.

Quests for this dungeon

[33] Hearts of Zeal
Given by Master Apothecary Faranell in Undercity. This this is the follow up of [30D] Going, Going, Guano! from Razorfen Kraul. You need 20 hearts of any Scarlet NPC and they don't need to be inside the dungeon.
[36] Test of Lore
Given by Parqual Fintallas in Undercity. The quest itself is very easy. We have to pick up a book from the library. The hard part here is the long chain of pre-requisite quest we have to pick up. Here it is:
  1. Pickup [26] Test of Faith from Dorn Plainstalker in Thousand Needles
  2. DON'T jump yet... if you do you'll die. Instead, turn around and find the planks slightly behind ypu and to the left. From there you jump..... it realy is a test of faith. ;) Almost as soon as you have JUMPED off the edge, you'll see "Quest Completed". About 75 percent of the way down you'll be teleported back where the guy will reward you.
  3. Now you can get the follow up [30] Test of Endurance.
  4. Get to 27,49 and kill Grenka, easy as hell. Not realy a test of endurance.
  5. Turn the quest back in and get [30] Test of Strength and kill Rok'Alim allong the south side of Thousand Needles (between 11,22 and 26,42)
  6. The followup [30] Test of Lore brings you to Braug Dimspirit in Stonetalon Mountains (76,74). Here you have to pick up a book in his cave, answer a question (Answer is Neltharion, option 2)
  7. Now you have to go to Undercity and talk to Parqual Fintallas who will give you the dungeon quest [36] Test of Lore

When you finaly turn this quest back in, you have to answer a question. The answer to the question is: "Ner'zhul" (Option 3). Then you have to turn in the last quest [36] Final Passage in Thousand Needles to get your reward.
