Rising high above the east coast of Pandaria, the Temple of the Jade Serpent stands as a sacred monument to the legendary pandaren emperor Shaohao's victory over the Sha of Doubt thousands of years ago.

Sha of Doubt

The physical manifestation of suspicion was trapped in the Jade Forest after Emperor Shaohao defeated the entity 10,000 years ago. The Sha of Doubt then grew obsessed with the Jade Serpent--Yu'lon, the Spirit of Wisdom and Foresight--and now delights in the thought of corrupting her home.

Abilities & Strategy

Wither Will

The Sha of Doubt withers the will of 2 random players, inflicting Shadow damage.

Touch of Nothingness

The Sha of Doubt seeps a profound sense of nothingness into the minds of a random player. The doubt causes the player to periodically inflict Shadow damage to nearby players every 1.5 seconds.

Figments of Doubt

The Sha of Doubt forces all players to face a figment of their own doubt.

Gathering Doubt

Each Figment of Doubt siphons energy from a player. When completely infused with energy, the Figment explodes and inflicts Shadow damage and healing the Sha of Doubt for 10% of its total health.

Liu Flameheart

Since she was a cub, the priestess Liu Flameheart has studied the cycle of rebirth for the Jade Serpent, Yu'lon. When the Sha of Doubt attacked, Liu was the first to resist, but she was also the first to succumb to corruption. Now she is consumed with uncertainty, fearing she may not have the strength to ensure Yu'lon's rebirth.

Abilities & Strategy

Lorewalker Stonestep

The Sha of Doubt's minions gleefully invaded the Temple of the Jade Serpent's library, creating twisted, destructive versions of heroes and other characters of pandaren lore. Despite his best efforts, Lorewalker Stonestep has been unable to restore these manifestations of the past to their uncorrupted forms.

Abilities & Strategy

The Trial of the Yaungol

A young Yaungol faces his own Strife and Peril. He must find a balance between the two to set his soul free.

The Champion of the Five Suns

In the days of old, five suns burned brightly in the sky. Great fires would sweep through the lands of Pandaria until the day that Zao Sunseeker shot a defiant arrow into the sky, bringing down 4 of the 5 suns.

Stage One: Extinguishing the Suns

Players must extinguish the suns from the sky. Defeating each Sun causes Haunting Sha to appear and attack Zao Sunseeker and the players.
