Anduin's gossip:

• My time with the Red Crane was short, but I learned a great deal under his tutelage.
• This foe--this "sha" energy--is unlike anything we've ever faced. It is the physical manifestation of emotional turmoil, bottled in the land for centuries.
• This emotional energy has now burst forth to find living, feeling hosts in which to reside.
• The sha threatens to wash over the continent, possible the world, if we do not aid the pandaren in facing it down!
