Mists of Pandaria Reputations

The Dominance Offensive is the Horde campaign during the war against the Alliance on the island of Pandaria. With the defeat of Deathwing the Destroyer, the mysterious island of Pandaria, previously hidden by magical mists, rejoined the rest of Azeroth. As with any new territory, the major factions sought to stake a claim in this new world before the other could. As the Horde and Alliance were already at war, they brought the conflict over to the island of Pandaria, dividing the pandarian loyalties between the two groups. Led by Garrosh Hellscream, the Dominance Offensive, in conflict with it's Alliance counterpart, Operation: Shieldwall, caused great turmoil to the island nation of Pandaria, release dark energy known as sha across this once peaceful island.

Emperor Shaohao was the last emperor of Pandaria. The invasion of the Burning Legion was foretold to him by a Jinyu Waterspeaker which would lead to a terrible shattering. This would foretell the events surrounding the Great Sundering. This led to a great doubt troubling the emperor. In an effort to relieve him of those doubts, his longtime friend, the Monkey King, created a mask for him to wear. When Emperor Shaohao removed the mask, all of his doubts took a physical form. These became the Sha that would later trouble the continent. Emperor Shaohao managed to successfully imprison all the Sha, or so he thought. The Emperor created the Shado-Pan in response to this event, the goal of this group being to keep an eye on the Sha and ensure they did not cause trouble for the people of Pandaria. The Emperor would then enter the Vale of Eternal Blossoms, so named because the trees began to blossom in the Emperors presence, and began to climb the Terrace of Eternal Spring with the goal of separating Pandaria from the rest of the world, attempting to keep them safe from the ensuing demonic invasion. Emperor Shaohao found this was difficult to do and thus doubt began to creep in, freeing a few of the Sha. He sought the advice of the Jade Serpent who explained that Pandaria was more than the Pandarian empire, thus revealing the existence of the mantid to the pandarians for the first time. It was then that Emperor Shaohao's spirit became one with Pandaria. When the Great Sundering happened, Pandaria floated away and became hidden by impenetrable mists. This was the work of the Sha of Pride. Emperor Shaohao felt that the pandarians were better equipped to solve their own problems and did not need the rest of the world.

The Forest Hozen are the sworn enemies of the Pearlfin Jinyu. They are a group of monkey creatures whose favorite food is fish. Led by Chief Kah Kah, the Forest Hozen ally themselves with the Horde when both factions bring their conflict to Pandaria. Having found themselves captured, they are freed by Horde forces and in return, pledge their loyalty to Garrosh Hellscream and his followers.

The Golden Lotus are a group of Pandarens that are hand chosen by the celestials to serve as protectors of the Vale of Eternal Blossoms. These members are generally chosen at a fairly young age though that is not always the case. When goblins located the Heart of Y'Shaarj deep within a vault in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms, Garrosh Hellscream claimed the Heart for himself and had it installed in his throne room in Orgrimmar. Doing so unleashed a wave of devastation throughout the Vale, unleashing the Sha of Pride of killing many members of the Golden Lotus. After Garrosh Hellscream was defeated and the Heart destroyed, the remaining members of the Golden Lotus seek to restore peace and bring balance to the Vale, all while keeping an eye on the ever looming threat of the mogu.

The Kirin Tor Offensive is the Alliance counterpart to the Horde's Sunreaver Onslaught. The two factions are locked in a struggle to prevent the other from obtaining the treasures left behind by Emperor Lei Shen on the Isle of Thunder. Led by Jaina Proudmoore, The Kirin Tor Offensive seeks to obtain those treasures on behalf of the Alliance or at the very least, prevent the Horde from obtaining them themselves. Comprised of high elves along with mages and warriors of the Kirin Tor, these champions deal not only with the persistent threat of the Sunreaver Onslaught, but also threats from the saurok, the Zandalari, and the mogu themselves. Jaina lends her aid to the Kirin Tor Offensive in direct opposition to Garrosh Hellscream after he led an attack on Theramore, shortly before the mists parted, revealing the island of Pandaria, long thought lost.

Nat Pagle is an avid fisherman. Though he is a human, he is friendly to both Horde and Alliance factions alike. Though he is known throughout Azeroth as perhaps the greatest fisherman alive today, Nat Pagle has said on record that he doesn't particularly care that much for fishing. Like most fisherman, he enjoys being able to drink while he fishes. He donated his personal fishing pool to the Booty Bay fishing tournament, a prize that attracted many participants from across Azeroth. When the mists parted and revealed the island of Pandaria, Nat Pagle found his way there and joined up with the Anglers, a group of fishermen. After Garrosh Hellscream was defeated and fled into the past to Draenor, Nat Pagle went along with the Horde and the Alliance to this new world. From there, he joined the garrisons and taught fishing to anyone who was interested in his services.

Operation: Shieldwall is the code name given to the Alliance campaign inside of Pandaria. Led by King Varian Wrynn and High Marshal Twinbraid, the forces of Operation: Shieldwall are the front line against the war against the Horde that unfortunately spilled over into Pandaria after the demise of Deathwing. With tensions at an all time high following the conflict at the Wrathgate, the two factions managed to put aside their differences temporarily against a common enemy in Deathwing. With his defeat came a renewed conflict between the two groups. During this campaign, the island of Pandaria became deshrouded and became home to a new conflict bewteen the two factions.

The Order of the Cloud Serpent are a group of warriors that strive to defend the Jade Forest. They were initially formed during a conflict between the Pandarians and the Zandalarians. The Zandalarians had allied themselves with the mogu, the traditional enemies of the pandarian people. When the mogu were defeated, the Zandalarians came to claim land that had been promised to them by the mogu. The Pandarians managed to drive them back when a young pandarian girl named Jiang made friends with a cloud serpent named Lo. Jiang then convinced Lo and the other cloud serpents to allow the pandarians to ride them into battle, thus birthing the first members of the Order of the Cloud Serpent. Together, the pandarians and the cloud serpents managed to drive back the Zandalari invasion, but not before the death of Jiang.

The Pearlfin Jinyu are a race of aquatic, fish people, led by Elder Lusshan. They have allied themselves with the Alliance in hopes of fending off attacks from the Forest Hozen, who have allied themselves with the Horde. Much like the conflict between the Horde and the Alliance has raged for many years, a similar conflict has existed between the hozen and the jinyu people.

The Shado-Pan are a group of warriors akin to special forces with the goal of protecting Pandaria from any threats. Preferring to operate from the shadows, the Shado-Pan were first created by Emperor Shaohao to control the sha that he had inadvertently created and released. In modern times, the Shado-Pan are led by Taran Zhu. When the Horde and the Alliance first landed in Pandaria, he pleaded with the leaders of both factions to cease their war, warning of the dangers of the sha and how their struggle could free them, wrecking havoc across Pandaria. He was ultimately ignored and the shas were released. He and the Shado-Pan would eventually work with the Horde and the Alliance to battle the sha that had been released as well as the mogu, mantid, and yaungol threats that had emerged. The Shado-Pan sent a small force to Draenor to battle the Iron Horde, led by Garrosh Hellscream. After Garrosh was defeated, the Burning Legion invaded all of Azeroth. The Shado-pan sent many warriors to the Terrace of Endless Spring to prevent the demons from taking over the sacred temple. Despite their past conflicts with the Zandalari, they worked with a faction of trolls to stop an attempted uprising led by Zul and several mogu allies.

The Shado-Pan Assault are a group of elite warriors within the Shado-Pan with one mission: travel to the Isle of Thunder and kill Lei Shen, once and for all. Led by Taran Zhu, the Shado-Pan Assault stage their attack from a cave beneath the Conquerer's Terrace. Lei Shen was the first emperor of the mogu and is widely considered to be the most powerful of them all. During his reign, Lei Shen formed an alliance with the Zandalari, offering land near the Vale of Eternal Blossoms in exchange for their loyalty. This alliance would last for thousands of years. Lei Shen was finally defeated when he set his sights on Uldum. Leading a mighty army of Zandalari and mogu warriors, the tol'vir knew they were no match. As a last ditch effort, the tol'vir use the Forge of Origination to decimate the surrounding area, killing the entire army and Lei Shen. This act turned Uldum and the surrounding area into a lifeless desert. A few warriors managed to survive the assault and took Lei Shen's body to the Tomb of Conquerors. When the Zandalari and the mogu renewed their alliance, the Zandalari located Lei Shen's body inside the Tomb of Conquerors. They then took his body to the Isle of Reckoning and resurrected him with the help of Prophet Khar'zul.

The Sunreaver Onslaught, led by Lor'themar Theron, the Regent Lord of Quel'Thalas stands in direct opposition to it's Alliance counterpart, the Kirin Tor Offensive. While the Sunreaver Onslaught aims to reclaim mogu artifacts from the Isle of Thunder, much like their Kirin Tor opponents, the Sunreaver Onslaught is also keeping a wary eye on Garrosh Hellscream. Should Garrosh lead the Horde into a period of annihiliation or anarchy, the Sunreaver Onslaught will use the mogu artifacts they have recovered to start anew. Having been cast aside from Dalaran, the Sunreaver Onslaught consists of members from each Horde faction, along with rangers, blood knights, and other troops from Dalaran.

Unconcerned with the war between the Horde and the Alliance, the Anglers are a group of fishermen that seek to spread their love and knowledge of fishing to any interested party. Led by Nat Pagle, the Anglers operate primarily in the Krasarang Wilds. Anyone operating within The Anglers puts their factional differences aside. This is clearly demonstrated with humans and goblins being known members along with the native pandarens. No matter your political affilition, religious preference, or faction alignment, a love of fishing is all that's required to join The Anglers and seek their knowledge.

The August Celestials are a group of four wild gods that live in Pandaria. They are Chi-Ji, the Red Crane, Niuzao, the Black Ox, Xuen, the White Tiger, and Yu'lon, the Jade Serpent. Each god has a temple dedicated to their honor in Pandaria. As the pandaren began to settle Pandaria 15000 years before the Dark Portal was open, they drew the attention of these gods. Troubled by the warlike mogu, they formed a bond with the pandaren because of how peaceful they were. They were individually defeated when Lei Shen with his mogu empire would take control of Pandaria. This would lead the celestials to build temples in order to train monks based on a virtue that each celestial embodied. Niuzao taught fortitude, Xuen strength, Chi-Ji spoke of the important of hope, never giving up, and Xulon taught wisdom.

With the defeat of Deathwing, The Black Prince, also known as Wrathion, represents the last of the black dragonflight. This mysterious figure offers adventurers a chance to prove themselves to him by defeating enemies around Pandaria. He is known to reward those who can prove themselves worthy and can earn his trust. His rewards will greatly benefit any adventurer seeking to stop Garrosh Hellscream's onslaught against the Alliance.

Originally founded as a religious order dedicated to Y'Shaarj, the modern day Klaxxi seek to preserve mantid culture and knowledge. While the mantid society is ruled over by an empress, she is technically not part of the Klaxxi. In fact, the Horde and Alliance involvement in Pandaria has led to widespread corruption which has spread to the empress herself. This puts the Klaxxi in direct conflict with the empress and seek to overthrow her. A group of powerful Klaxxi warriors known as the paragons as preserved in amber and revered by the Klaxxi. Because of their historical association with the Old God Y'Shaarj, the Klaxxi eventually side with Garrosh Hellscream after he obtains the Heart of Y'Shaarj. The Klaxxi awaken the paragons which are then moved to Orgrimmar, serving as guards to anyone that seeks to bring war to Garrosh Hellscream.

Comprised of Pandaren and Jinyu, The Lorewalkers value knowledge and seek to acquire and preserve knowledge in their various libaries. Much like the Tortollan Seekers, The Lorewalkers explore the world around them, trading stories with any interested traveler, locating artifacts and understanding the history behind those artifacts, and fill their libraries with records of their exploration. Whether the traveler is allied with the Alliance or the Horde makes no difference to The Lorewalkers, knowledge is knowledge.
