Test of Lore

Find The Beginnings of the Undead Threat, and return it to Parqual Fintallas in Undercity.
Beginnings of the Undead Threat

Description

I will tell you what you must seek, and I will even ask you my question, but not because you wish to prove yourself. Knowledge is far more important than strength. Even as others seem to pass you by in ability, your knowledge of the world will be more valuable.

Go to the Monastery in the north of Tirisfal Glades. In the library there, a book called Beginnings of the Undead Threat resides. It was used by the now-corrupt paladins there to train them to fight my kind.

Bring it to me.

Progress

I hope you made the Scarlet Crusade suffer some before stealing the book from them.

My views of their kind are not unwarranted. The Crusade may have been followers of the Light at one time, but now, they seek to destroy any creatures that have not sided with their religion. They believe all undead, Forsaken or otherwise, must be cleansed, and those traveling in their lands must either be insane, or subject to the undead's powerful magics. Idiots. Idiots and fools; all of them.

Completion

This is the book I sent you to search for.

<Parqual slowly caresses his hand over the top of the book as he stares down at it.>

So now you wish a question to prove your mind is as powerful as your body and spirit. If you have studied the book long enough, then I shall ask you your question and you can be done with these tests!

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 210 experience (12 60 at max. level)
  • 150 Reputation with Undercity

To quote someone from thottbot two years ago:

""ok, here is precise directions to get to the book.

head into the instance and down the hallway. turn left (youcan't run any other way) and cross the courtyard to the archway on the otherside. This will be another hallway. continue down this hallway to the end and turn right.. this will zigzag you into another hallway. STOP RIGHT NOW!!!

In this hallway you just zigzagged into there is a room immediately to your left (right next to the entrance to the hallway you just came through). In this room is Beginnings of the Undead Threat. It is guarded by two chaplains and a monk. ""

worked for me.

It was Colonel Mustard in the Library with a Candlestick! No, seriously, we need to head to the http://www.wowwiki.com/Gallery_of_Treasures Gallery of Treasures room inside the branch section - http://www.wow-pro.com/node/585 Library (book is map-pinned on that link I just gave).

Grabbing the book requires a few seconds uninterrupted. As a lvl 35 rogue engineer, used a Target Dummy to gain some time to pick the book. Then you can wait for the dummy to die, loot it and vanish. This could work for a druid stealth run as well, but you would probably die after wards.

The book respawns approximately every 30 seconds.

This quest gives credit for Loremaster of Eastern Kingdoms. (Which is sort of a kick in the pants if you're doing this for your Kalimdor chains...)
