Paw'don Village

Paw'don Village is a pandaren village just north of Garrosh'ar Point, previously led by Mayor Sunke Khang. The village is divided into two parts, connected by a bridge.

Unlike the usual brews produced by the pandaren, Paw'don Village is known for their apple cider, which is prized throughout the Jade Forest. They are thus dependent on their apple orchard; it not only provides the villagers' food supply, but the village's livelihood as well.

A direct portal to Paw'don Village, maintained by Tushui Magisters, exists in the Wizard's Sanctum in Stormwind.

By 40 ADP, Sunke Khang had retired as mayor and the replanted young apple trees were producing their first apples.

After Sunke Khang refused to trade with their leader, the Horde abducted several of his village's children as bargaining chips, and although he called in the Shado-Pan, they were in Kun-Lai Summit and therefore several days away. They also cut down his apple tree orchard, upon which Paw'don depended heavily for its harvest, food and livelihood. However, some Alliance adventurers managed to save some of the village's trees and children, earning Khang's gratitude and causing him to ally Paw'don with the Alliance.

Following the awakening of the Dragon Isles, Chen Stormstout, Li Li Stormstout, and Catelyn the Blade visited Paw'don Village after Garrosh'ar Point. They tasted the cider for which the village is famous, and Sunke Khang, the now-retired mayor, stopped to ask if they liked it. They noticed that his smile was sad, lamenting the loss of the original apple trees that gave the cider its unmatched flavor. The replanted young apple trees were now producing their first apples, and Sunke Khang felt that their flavor was not as rich and surmised that it was because their roots had not yet grown deep enough.

Early in the beta of Mists of Pandaria, this town was a forested area called Wayward Landing where players would have to complete quests related to the Alliance establishing a foothold in the area. The area was rebooted in a later build to draw more attention to the Horde versus Alliance conflict. There are still references here and there to this mysterious landing in NPC comments, particularly by Admiral Taylor.
