Speak with at the Gate of the August Celestials.

• Speak to Anduin at the Gate of the August Celestials

The celestials are allowing us back into the Vale! This will be a sight to behold.

We shouldn't waste any time. Head to the Gate of the August Celestials at the southern edge of Kun-Lai Summit and speak with me there.

You will receive:

• 64000 XP
• +75 reputation with Golden Lotus

Welcome to the Shrine of Seven Stars.

I wish I could bring you better tidings,, but the situation here in the Vale is quite dire.

There is much to do, but first, rest, and explore the city.

Welcome to the Vale.

Exit the temple and bank right to get to the flight master across the bridge. Fly to Westwind Rest and run due south to get to the gate. Speak with Anduin: The cutscene ends here, but the script event continues:

• This is a historic moment, . What do you think lies beyond the gates?
• A cutscene begins as the camera pulls back to show a wide view of the Gate of the August Celestials. The four August Celestials arrive, setting up in front of the gate: Niuzao stands sentinel in front of the right statue as Chi-Ji does the same on the left. Xuen walks up, directly facing the doors as Yu'lon flys up and hovers to the left of Xuen as all of the onlookers kneel before them. Sunwalker Dezco walks up to flank Xuen's left as Anduin does the same on the right. As they also kneel, the player phases in between them and kneels as well.

• Xuen steps forward and makes a deep, earth-trembling roar, at which the gates' inner gear system unlocks and the doors swing forward on their own. The onlookers rise as one and start filtering in.

• The four celestials depart.

The Kun-Lai Refugees have had their lines removed and despawn shortly after entering the now-ruined Vale. Matron Vi Vinh also ends this quest and the quest chain, explaining after turn-in where a player can go.

• say

The Vale of Eternal Blossoms is not phased, so walking through the gate leads the players into the destroyed Vale, complete with level 90 sha mobs. Players below level 90 must therefore exercise caution when entering.

I wouldn't miss this for the world, ! And neither shall you.

• Description

Head to the Gate of the August Celestials at the southern edge of Kun-Lai Summit and speak with me there.

It has been many lifetimes since the gates were last open.

This shall be a sight to behold!

Thank you for coming so quickly.

• Completion

For thousands of years, the Golden Lotus has kept the Vale safe from those who would seek its power.

Unfortunately, that time is past, and we need your help.
