The world has opened up to us, and we have spread. The mists have faded and so our horizon broadened. It is you all, our fellow Pandaren, that have travelled and learnt from these new lands, from the beauties and the dangers that come from them.

It is the constant flow of things that we are part of, societies form, Kingdoms are built, Emperors rise, and so by the time, they fall again. It is the nature of things, the constant cycle, the balance on this world. It is what we experience every day; what we have experienced in the time after our horizon expanded.

We have lived in peace, and even then we survived the attacks of Mantid, Yaungol and Mogu, we have stood up against the Thunder King and his minions and caused his fall; and in the end we also stood up against Garrosh Hellscream and fought until he fell as well: We are strong as One, strong united. It is because of people that fight, so that our families can flourish in peace even when conflict arises. We have been divided by the forces of this world and now is the time to stand united again, to stand strong as the One, as we have for thousands of years.

Our order believes in the strength in numbers, but also in the will of the One, the way that we work towards in unity. We believe that Pandaria is not merely a continent, but an ideal: It is where families and their children need not to fear for war or hunger; it is where people rule themselves instead of being ruled by conquerors, where men and women live and love in the beauty that they have preserved as long as Pandaren exist. Yes, we believe that Pandaria is worth fighting for, it is worth to fight for peace, balance and harmony, to preserve what we love; we are the people that have learnt the alternative and have rejected it freely.

It is us, that have made it our duty, to protect this land from dangers, may they come from outside or within, to bring justice where injustice arises, so that no Pandaren must ever live in fear or sorrow. For we will oppose any tyrants, no matter where they rise, combat ignorance where it is found and protect the free people of Pandaria. As long as we stand united, we will not fall; as long as the Lotus blooms, Pandaria will be safe.


We all know that things change, but we will use all of our influence to change the course of things, to improve ourselves and the world, we Pandaren shall stand as an ideal for many others to come. If you read this, friend, and think alike, we are in search for people like you. Brave Pandaren with an open heart, that devote themselves for the greater good. Pandaren that fight, so that others do not have to, that give their lives to preserve the beauty that we know as Pandaria.

If you are willing to join under our united banner and lend us your strength to aid and protect Pandaria, meet us at the well in the mage district of Stormwind city, or at Tian Monastery in the Jade Forest, from where the root of the Lotus spreads over Pandaria. We provide you home, training, eat and drink. Join us today if you think like us, friend.

The Lotus blooms,

Ju-Sin Stormstout
Grand Master of the order of the Blooming Lotus
