The Dark Heart of the Mogu

Starts from a quest item mailed to the player upon completion of the achievement The Dark Heart of the Mogu.

When you turn in the quest, Lorewalker Cho tells you a story complete with a play-like reenactment and casts Storytime on the player.

"What do you fear most in this world? Have you conquered your fear... or has your fear conquered you?

In the ancient days before the sundering of the world, the mogu emperors ruled over Pandaria. My people were made slaves, and they were afraid.

The mogu were masters of pain and torture, of dark magics and brutal weapons. No pandaren, hozen, or jinyu could resist the power they held. And my people were afraid.

It was the mogu who built the Serpent's Spine. The most unlucky of slaves were send to aid in its construction and defense, to be fodder for the mantid. And my people were afraid.

As the empire grew, the mogu began to experiment with the secrets of the Value. They crafted terrible weapons of living flesh and stone. And my people were afraid.

In their hubris, the mogu never foresaw that their downfall lay in wait, not among their enemies, but among the oppressed. The day that one slave stood...

... and was no longer afraid."

You can have Lorewalker Cho tell the story again by talking to him or clicking on the book that is added to your bookcase in the Seat of Knowledge.
