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.
One of the more popular quest instances is The Scarlet Monastery. This is not a long series of quests. Once you reach level 35, you must first find the quest. the Quest giver is "The Scarlet Emissary" located in the Cathedral of Light's basement, in Stormwind.
The Emissary will ask you to collect Shriveled Eyes that drop from Skeletons, Ghouls, and Plague Spreaders in RavenHill, Duskwood. This is not hard but can be if you are soloing. Once completed, you will be given a "Letter of Commendation" and be asked to speak to Releigh the Devout.
Releigh is located in Southshore, Far north of Stormwind and even IronForge. You can find him at the Inn in Southshore on the upper floor, in one of the rooms. He will Ask you to Kill the Scarlet Leaders: Doan, Herod, Cmdr Morgraine, and Whitemaine (His mistress). These 4 Bosses can be found in the Scarlet Monastery, Located deep in the regions of Tirisfal Glades.
Reaching the Scarlet Monastery is not hard but it is a long journey none the less. You can take shortcuts but risk the danger of getting attacked my forest denizens. Scarlet Monastery is located in the northeastern hills of Tirisfal Glades near the border of Western Plaguelands. Once there, you will have to take the first instance on the right (Library) and Kill Doan, then retrieve the scarlet key to access the Armory and the Cathedral.
