A new level 20 paladin quest, seems to be the replacement for the deleted Verigan's Fist quest.
The reward is a choice of three different hammers.

They are the Mace of the Order (1H mace, Holy, looks like the Hand of Righteousness which drops from Whitemane), Gavel of the Order (1H mace, Protection, looks like the Hammer of Wrath) and Warhammer of the Order (2h, Retribution, looks like a 2-handed version of Hand of Righteousness)

Sinew drops off ghouls and geists and they are readily available in the first part of the instance. Ingots were dotted around the dungeon, three piles in the first courtyard and the rest throughout the run. Silvery grey in colour, when you scroll over you get the usual cog wheel. Nice quest, especially if you do it and get the Shadowfang Keep dungeon achievement at the same time.
