An Old Pit Fighter

Spar with King Varian Wrynn.

• Spar with Varian

I need to know if you can fight. There may come a time where you will be called upon for military matters, and I need to know that you can protect my kingdom.

I've heard stories about pandaren fighting techniques, but I've never seen them in person.

You will receive:

You've more than proven your worth, in battle and in heart. Few would be willing to leave their homeland to join the Alliance. Fewer still would be willing to face the King of Stormwind in combat.

You, and the rest of your people, are welcome among our ranks. Welcome to the Alliance,.

In order to complete the quest, you must enter into a melee with Varian. There will be a few words exchanged:

• say
• say

In the midst of the melee, Varian will taunt you:

• say

• say
• yell

Once the blow is made, a small cutscene plays as the world suddenly slows to Matrix bullet-dodging speed, with Aysa and Jojo Ironbrow looking on in stupefied horror as the player knocks Varian on his back. The cutscene ends as Varian comes to his feet, looking no worse for wear:

• say

Varian returns to his throne room. Return to him to complete the quest.

This concludes the pandaren starting experience. Up next, Westfall! Or, head to Ironforge via the Deeprun Tram and level in Loch Modan. Or, head to Darnassus via the ship in the Stormwind Harbor and quest through Darkshore.
