Blizzard -- Kun-Lai Summit
High atop the frigid northern peaks of the Kun-Lai Summit looms the Temple of the Tiger, an ancient training ground protected by an elite force of martial priests, along with the spirit of the White Tiger itself. Deeper into the mountains is the hideout of the Shado-pan: a mysterious order charged with protecting Pandaria from the dark things buried beneath its surface. When the isolated people of Kun-Lai are threatened by marauders from the west and a Zandalari troll menace invading its northern shores, they turn to the Alliance and Horde for help.

I'm sure the back entrance to the monastery will lead you to a ice barrier that will damage your health if you try to pass it before level 90. At 90 you will get a quest to pass it and follow the path to meet the true leader of the Pandaren who turns out to be a member of the Sha!

FYI to the article author Adam: it's Shado-pan Monastery, not Shando-pan.

Shando-pan is what Malfurion uses to cook omelettes.

Whoa whoa whoa - hold up a minute.
Those rings that are rotating in the middle of the room - weren't those the prison rings from one of the Superman movies? Superman 2, maybe?
Or am I just experiencing bad flashbacks?

More back-to-Northrend, we have updated Taunka.
If you look over the shoulder of the closer Taunka-yak-guy, there's a red and orange flying thing that looks to my mind like a distant box kite.

Very pretty.
One thing I would like them to work towards was seasonal changes in wow.
Trees changing color ...
Snow..
Some trees looking a little less lush or more bare in winter.
Instead of limited to just 1-2 zones.
Maybe it's because I am and will always be a Wisconsin girl at heart...
Or because I am in Saint Louis, MO now and dealing with it being in the 80's in freaking MARCH! But I just miss seasons.
