The Test of Righteousness Quest: Paladin Chain, Step by Step
The Test of Righteousness is the Alliance paladin quest chain in World of Warcraft: Forever (WoW Forever): Duthorian Rall in Stormwind sends you to the smith Jordan Stilwell outside Ironforge, who needs four materials, including a Kor Gem that Thundris Windweaver in Darkshore purifies, to forge the two-hand mace Verigan's Fist. Wowhead and Warcraft Wiki list the first Test of Righteousness quest at level 21, requiring level 20, as of November 10, 2026.
Quick answer: It is a paladin-only chain for Human and Dwarf paladins, per Wowhead. Finish the Tome of Valor quests for Duthorian Rall first. Then see Jordan Stilwell (Dun Morogh, about 52, 37), do Seeking the Kor Gem with Thundris Windweaver, gather Jordan's other materials, and wait while he forges the weapon.
Key facts
- Class and side: Paladin, Alliance, Human and Dwarf (Wowhead)
- First step: The Test of Righteousness, from Duthorian Rall in Stormwind City, level 21, requires level 20, Dungeon type, sharable (Wowhead)
- Forever status: Wowhead's comparison marks the steps Unchanged from Classic; Warcraft Wiki says the quest remains in Classic and Forever
- XP of the first step: 825 on Warcraft Wiki and ForeverChanges, 830 on Wowhead
- Reward: Verigan's Fist (Wowhead lists it on the final step; Warcraft Wiki says paladins only)
Is The Test of Righteousness only for paladins?
Yes, as far as the sources I opened go. Wowhead's Forever page lists the class as Paladin and the races as Human and Dwarf. Warcraft Wiki calls the chain a paladin quest and says Verigan's Fist, the reward, was available only to paladins. Wowhead also lists a separate, new level 25 Seeking the Kor Gem for Undead paladins; I did not open it.
Which quests make up The Test of Righteousness?
Warcraft Wiki's progression lists them in this order:
- The Tome of Valor, level 20, from Duthorian Rall, then four more Tome of Valor quests at level 25.
- The Test of Righteousness (21): speak to Jordan Stilwell in Ironforge.
- The Test of Righteousness (22): Jordan's materials list.
- Bailor's Ore Shipment and Seeking the Kor Gem (22), listed side by side.
- The Test of Righteousness (22): bring Jordan the materials and wait for the weapon.
Wowhead's changes table lists the last step, the one that gives Verigan's Fist, at 2,200 XP.
What do you bring Jordan Stilwell?
Warcraft Wiki says Jordan needed high-quality Whitestone Oak Lumber, a shipment of refined ore, his enchanted smithing hammer and a Purified Kor Gem. I found no opened source giving WoW Forever locations for the lumber, ore or hammer.
Where is the Kor Gem step?
Seeking the Kor Gem starts with Thundris Windweaver in Darkshore (Warcraft Wiki); Wowhead lists the Human and Dwarf version at level 22, Dungeon type. Per the Classic quest text on Warcraft Wiki, you bring Thundris a Corrupted Kor Gem, which naga hold below Blackfathom Deeps in northwest Ashenvale, and he purifies it. Warcraft Wiki and Wowhead list 440 XP for this step. The Darkshore guide covers the zone. Jordan stands outside the Ironforge gates in Dun Morogh (Warcraft Wiki: 52, 37), covered by the Dun Morogh guide.
What is the reward?
Warcraft Wiki says Verigan's Fist was the reward of the final Test of Righteousness quest, and lists it as a level 31 two-hand mace with 65 to 99 damage, +6 Intellect, +7 Stamina and +12 Spirit in Classic. I did not see Forever stats for it, and Wowhead says item stats stay hidden in Forever until players discover them.
What is not confirmed yet
- Forever changes: Wowhead marks the steps Unchanged, but item stats are hidden
- Item stats in Forever: only Classic stats were on a page I opened
- Materials' locations: not found in a source I could open
- Step XP: ForeverChanges and Wowhead differ on some steps, so check your quest dialog
More class quests are in the class quests guide and the paladin guide; Alliance leveling zones shows the route.
How can the Lore Forever add-on and Willo help with The Test of Righteousness?
The free Lore Forever add-on narrates the story of the zones, quests and NPCs around you as you play. It is fan-made, not affiliated with Blizzard, has no internet access, and its narration uses generated voices. You can also ask Willo out loud ("what does Jordan need") while you play. She is free to start with 50 answers a day, and she is a separate companion app for Windows 10 or 11 and Apple Silicon Macs (macOS 12 or later), per her page. She can be wrong and is not official, so the in-game quest text is the source of truth.
