Test of Faith quest chain Test of Faith is a Horde quest chain which begins in Thousand Needles but will take players around the world , eventually even bringing them to the Scarlet Monastery library . This quest chain also serves to introduce newer players to the lore behind the World of Warcraft story : The player must collect two books and be prepared to answer questions about them in order to complete the chain . The first book is about the Dragon Aspect s , and the second is about the origins of the Scourge . The full text of the two books can be found : Tests of Thousand Needles . Dorn Plainstalker of Thousand Needles has been testing young members of the Horde for years . The lessons he teaches are not those of academia : instead , he teaches Faith , Endurance , and Strength . Dorn awaits those who seek to test themselves in a cave known as the Weathered Nook on the northern cliff face of the Thousand Needles canyon . Dorn Plainstalker presents you with your first test : a test of faith . Transporting you to a high perch above Thousand Needles , he instructs you to jump - if you have faith . Without question , you leap from the planks on which you stand . . . and are teleported once more back to Dorn ' s cave . Next Dorn wishes to test your endurance . He sends you to a cave on the south side of the canyon , full of harpies . After destroying their food supplies , you take their leader ' s claw as proof of your deed , and return to Dorn . For this test , Dorn suggests you join with others to accomplish the task set before you . This time , Dorn wants you to seek out the powerful earth elemental who prowls Thousand Needles : Rok ' Alim the Pounder . You locate the elemental and do battle with him , finally defeating him and returning to Dorn with the fragments of the once - proud construct . Your third test is complete . Lore of the Dragon Aspects . Dorn is not the only one who is tasked with testing young members of the Horde : his associate , Braug Dimspirit , resides in the Stonetalon Mountains and gives a test of a different sort . Your time with Dorn is done : it is time for the Test of Lore , for which you must travel to Braug Dimspirit outside the Talondeep Path in Stonetalon Mountains . He will give you further instructions . After quite a journey , you manage to locate Braug . But you are not yet ready for the test he will give . Before you can take the Test of Lore , you must find and read the Legacy of the Aspects , a book currently held in the Dor ' Danil Barrow Den of Ashenvale forest to the north . The book is guarded by the spirits of the night elves , who do not wish to part with it . But you manage to fight your way through and gain access to the book . On your way back to Braug , you study the text as instructed , learning the history and legend behind the first of the great dragons . Once you are prepared , you give Braug the book and await his question . He asks it : which of the great aspects became the monster Deathwing ? You easily answer : Neltharion . Braug nods , satisfied , but you are not yet finished with your test . The Origin of the Scourge . In addition to Dorn and Braug , there is another who gives tests to new adventurers : Parqual Fintallas in the Undercity . A historian in life , his now permanent state gives him plenty of time to study the triumphs and mistakes of the past . Like Braug , Parqual tests young members of the Horde in their knowledge of lore . Braug wants you to learn yet more lore before your testing is complete . To that end , he sends you on to Parqual Fintallas in the Undercity for further instructions . Upon hearing your story , Parqual seems unimpressed . And it seems he , too , has a task for you before he will give his test . Parqual wants you to collect a very special book held by the Scarlet Crusade in their library in the Scarlet Monastery , called Beginnings of the Undead Threat . Gathering a group of other strong adventurers with you , you enter the Scarlet library and steal the book . When you return to Parqual , he seems pleased , and explains that though the Scarlet Crusade may once have had good intentions , they were now so crazed and zealous that they sought to destroy any who were not among their order . You quickly study the book , learning about the origins of the undead . When you are ready , you give the book to Parqual and prepare for your question . Parqual asks : What was the name of the creature who became known as the Lich King ? Instantly you answer : Ner ' zhul . Parqual nods , seeming a bit surprised , and accepts your answer as correct . Your tests finally complete , Parqual instructs you to return to Dorn in Thousand Needles to receive your reward . After your journey , Dorn grants you the choice between a fine hammer or powerful wand . In addition , he promises that all members of the Horde will have more respect for someone who could pass such difficult tests . Rewards .
