Description
The Shado-Pan arrived here before we did, and they are already at work undermining the Thunder King's forces. I want you to meet with Taran Zhu, the leader of the Shado-Pan, and offer your services on behalf of the Kirin Tor. I doubt he is truly in need of the aid, but the gesture holds importance in itself.
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.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Storm Gathers
There is no time to waste, <name>. Every moment we delay here gives the Sunreavers more of a hold on the Isle. Lady Jaina Proudmoore awaits us. We should not make her wait any longer. Speak to me when you are ready to depart. I will escort you there myself.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Secrets in the Isle of Thunder
I do have one thing I would ask of you, <class>. We've gotten our hands on a powerful ritual stone that the Shan'ze mogu use to beckon their allies into battle, but we need more than one to perform their rituals. If you come upon three of these stones, bring them back to me.
