TheWoWDBSo I was walking around and suddenly notice an NPC I haven't seen here before.
Taran Zhu standing infront of Sunwalker Dezco.
Taran Zhu says: Tauren! What have your people done? You have dredged open a scar within our sacred Vale!
Sunwalker Dezco says: Lord Zhu, please understand - the orc "Warchief" who ordered the deed no longer speaks for the whole of the Horde.
Taran Zhu says: Your politics are no concern of mine. Your Horde has disrespected the sanctity of this place. You are no longer welcome here - leave at once!
Sunwalker Dezco says: Give us time, Lord Zhu. Give us the opportunity to bring Hellscream to justice.
Taran Zhu says: Sunwalker, I respect your people. You have aided us in our campaign against the Sha and the Thunder King. Otherwise, I would've already ordered the Shado-Pan to purge this entire shrine. But my patience is at an end. The Horde must leave.
Sunwalker Dezco says: Give us time to make this right.
Taran Zhu stares grimly into the distance.
Taran Zhu says: Very well. You have until season's end. No longer.
Taran Zhu says: We pandaren are no strangers to dealing with tyrants. The coming battle will try your souls. May the celestrials guide your actions.Another neat little bit of info is that after the conversation ends they salute each other and Zhu walks towards the flight master, stands for a second, then appears on a kite and flys away.
I do not know what triggers it, and if its random I do not know how common it is.

Hatred

I believe the conversation is triggered just by walking near Dezco and Zhu. And only the player who triggers it can see it, I think.
That is every comment on this page.
