Found in the Kun-Lai Summit

Yaungol Tactics:
Forced to survive in the harsh terrain of the Townlong Steppes since the time of the last Pandaren emperor, the Yaungol have adapted their tactics accordingly.

The race is constantly on the move. Establishing short-lived "Fire Camps" in areas of abundant natural resources (specifically oil and game) before moving on. Where to set up camp, how long to stay, and when to move out remains the sole discretion of the Chieftain.

In combat, the Yaungol prefer to hit hard and fast. Making heavy use of cavalry to flank and harass the enemy while hard-hitting infantry assaults the weakest parts of the enemy line. Fire sorcery and flaming siege weapons back this initial assault.

Yaungol are known to retreat as quickly as they charge. Always reading the enemy and only fully committing their forces to sure victories.

Yaungoil:
Burning oil is the cornerstone of Yaungol warfare. In the days of their greatest warriors, this weapon was more deadly than magic. This burning substance would scar foes, scorch lands, burn what the cover provided by trees, and could rout even a terrifying Mantid assault.

It is also an old tactic of the Yaungol to light more campfires each night than people they have. In this way, enemy spying in the darkness would assume larger numbers of Yaungol existed, while their true positions and numbers remained masked.

Found in Townlong Steppes

Dominance:
Only the strongest, most courageous, most resilient of Yaungol may lead the tribes. These traits are of the highest qualities in Yaungol society and are expected of all Yaungol leaders.

However, with the constant threat from the Mantid to their south, the Yaungol cannot afford to lose a single warrior in an internal struggle for power.

A surprisingly civilized solution to this problem has been put into place. When a dispute arises between them, they then fight one another with blunted weapons until one yields or passes out.

Similarly, new leaders are chosen in ritual combat. A Yaungol who appears to take the place of chief must place his family banner and fight any who would challenge his authority.

Trapped in a Strange Land:
The origins of the Yaungol are unclear. The earliest historical record of the race dates back to the time of the Mogu emperor Qiang the Merciless. His scholars describe nomadic tribes of "intelligent bovine hunters" who roamed "expansive hunting grounds beyond the western reaches of the empire."

It is thought that several tribes of these hunters were trapped in Pandaria when the continent was separated from the mainland during the Sundering.

Imprisoned in the dangerous Townlong Steppes, the hardy Yaungol were forced to adapt. Weaponizing local supplies of oil and developing their own aggressive culture.

Few races can stand toe-to-toe against the Mantid on open ground. For this reason alone, the Yaungol survivors are to be feared and respected.

(Thanks to everyone for posting the updated locations.)
