I think which fights you get may be somewhat random. I've been around since just post-launch, and on my current realm since early WotLK. For fights I got:
-"fought in the name of Azeroth itself!" (fought some rock spiders and a slime)
-"lent their aid to the peaceful people of Pandaria in their time of need" (fought some mogu folks)
-"joined the noble alliance in combat against the Horde!" (fought some random horde npcs)

RewardsBand of Chronicled Deeds, 23g 63s 40c, 6,950 XP

Description

Curious. You are unlike any aspirant that has come before, that much is certain. You will notice that we have an audience. It has been a long time indeed since we welcomed another to the path. We are all eager to see what deeds brought you to us. Simply approach the dais before you and gaze into the flame. The Watcher will pull forth your memories of those you served in life, and you will be transported back to those moments to aid them once more.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Before this quest

    I have given Kalisthene's words some thought. If you are to learn our ways, we should proceed as if you were an aspirant yourself. The next step is to journey through the Aspirant's Crucible. It is a place of reflection, training, and cleansing.

After this quest

  • A Forge Gone ColdBastion · Level 10-51

    I have seen firsthand that you are a most capable soul. Kleia has told me of your purpose here. She has spoken of the hopes she places in you. I am not yet certain if I am ready to do the same. There is one small task that I would set before you, however.
