Uncertain of the future of his people, Emperor Shaohao sought out the great Red Crane. The Great Crane challenged Shaohao to find the hope within himself, and cast off his uncertainty. Once the Sha of Doubt was vanquished, the Emperor became a beacon of hope for his people. To pass the trial of the Crane, warriors must believe in hope, even in the darkest of days.

Yu'lon, The Jade SerpentThe trial of Yu'lon is a test of wisdom and faith. With omens of a bleak future floating through his mind, Emperor Shaohao climbed to the summit of Mount Neverest to seek the council of the Jade Serpent. Yu'lon urged Shaohao to cast off the dark emotions that plagued him, and through his trials, Emperor Shaohao would become one with the land. To pass the trial of the Serpent, warriors must be wise in their choices.

When Xuen gave Emperor Shaohao a 10-foot-pole and asked him to strike one of Xuen's warriors, the Emperor could not land a blow. For without restraint, anger and hatred run wild.

Comment by Leefanwow this looks so cool. im already liking the new zoneComment by bandgeek12345proof that you cant keep people out "The following screenshots were taken with a Hunter's Eagle Eye on the PTR, as the island currently ports people away:"Comment by NulgarI dunno, it looks too much like Jade Forest so far, and eerily empty, even for a PTR phase. We'll have to see how the dailies(?) there will turn out.

I have the suspicion that the legendary questline might involve a pet battle :PComment by tankformI'm not much of a pet battle fan, but this zone and the pets look really nice, might give it a shot :)Comment by perculiaIt's an island off the southeast coast of the Jade Forest, so makes sense it would look pretty similar.

I remember back in the early 5.2 PTR, queueing up for a scenario took me to an instanced form of Isle of Thunder. The scenario was bugged and couldn't be completed, but I could run around the complete island. The screenshots I took weren't as detailed as the live version of Isle of Thunder, so I'm assuming we'll also be seeing some more details on the Timeless Isle as the PTR progresses.Comment by RankkorThere's a few typos on the Xuen quote page.

Haha! The trial commences. You are strong, stronger even than you realize. Carry this through with you into the darkness ahead. Strength is far more than simple physical prowess. When you are truly tested, will you be able to tell the difference between strength and power!Comment by BrightBrownWow, 5 new world bosses! Hope that means they will continue having at least one who drops 2 T16 Normal pieces... and that they do NOT make the same mistake they did w/Oondasta.

OTOH, why am I going to be fighting them all when I'm Exalted with their respective factions?Comment by perculiaThe Dungeon Journal test refers to the Celestial encounters as trials that are tied to different character traits, so perhaps the Celestials encourage you to fight them as part of your training.Comment by ShoadowolfMUST...HAVE.... ASPECT PETS!Comment by RageZeroYou fight against the celestials as training, so that we can clear up the mess we made of the vale of eternal... now sorrowComment by maccormaicHoly crap, that's a lot of damage in those abilities! Can't wait to see what the mitigation strategies are. Looks like it continues the trend of "ridiculously complicated" encounters!Comment by rehlyihmahI have the suspicion that the legendary questline might involve a pet battle :PComment by InterestAgility: Increases haste by 300% for 1 min.Comment by KryokloAnyone else noticed that the description of Aspect of Yu'lon says The aspect of Yu'lon himself.Comment by 1083520I have the suspicion that the legendary questline might involve a pet battle :PComment by 627828This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comment by SnuffoffOn expiration, the player explodes, inflicting 300000 Fire damage to players within 8 yards and knocking them up.Comment by 749141these bosses sound like they are going to be worse then oondastaComment by hakweaIn terms of sheer content at this point the whole line is much larger and more involved then past legendary quest lines. Complete with boss fights, PVP, relentless item grinds in raids, etc. Not sure why everyone keeps complaining about the legendary quests other then rosey memories of the past ones.Comment by regmaGotta like the hunter's eagle eye. It was how I could have a look around as well. Course finding the right spots that wouldn't get me ported away was something. Has anyone tried using a Scrying Roguestone ?
