Template:Mists of Pandaria

The Jade Forest is a zone located in eastern Pandaria, bordering the Valley of the Four Winds at the southwest and Kun-Lai Summit at the northwest. It is a lush rainforest with statuesque stone spires, prominent with the Pandaren architecture.

The Temple of the Jade Serpent is located in the eastern portion of the zone, and it is the very first dungeon adventurers will encounter when first arriving in Pandaria.

Unlike two previous expansions, where the adventurers could decide where to go, Jade Forest is the sole starting location, much like Hellfire Peninsula was in Outland. The zone itself is roughly 50% larger than Twilight Highlands.

Introduction

After a devastating naval battle, survivors from both the Horde and Alliance wash up onto the tree-lined shores of the Jade Forest. Surrounded by wilderness, they must form alliances with the natives if they wish to survive. Along the way, they will meet the pandaren... along with some of the greater powers that protect and shape Pandaria.^[1]

The Alliance and Horde will ally themselves with the indigenous creatures to fight a war with lasting consequences to the Jade Forest, and possibly the rest of Pandaria as well.
