Garrosh Hellscream's treacherous excavation of the Vale of Eternal Blossoms has finished with sinister results -- not just for Pandaria, but for all Azeroth.

Weakening allegiances with the rest of the Horde by nearly killing Vol'jin and destroying the sanctity of the Vale of Eternal Blossoms in search of a source of power did not help his reputation either. Now, he has the might of the Kor'kron fully under...

Ten thousand years ago, when the continents of Azeroth were still one, the last of the Pandaren Emperors followed the tradition of his predecessors – he spoke with the Waterspeak of the Jinyu, hoping for good news. What he heard was a tragedy: the world would soon be engulfed in fire and brimstone as summoned demons rampaged and the land broke apart into many pieces. In desperation, Emperor Shaohao climbed to the peak of the mighty Mount Neverest to meditate and seek the council of the August...
