What to do
Description
From what I have gathered, this place used to be a tournament ground of sorts, where warriors from throughout Pandaria would show their prowess by following in the footsteps of their last emperor, Shaohao. I have heard that when Shaohao completed his trials, he became one with the land, and enveloped Pandaria in a thick mist, obscuring it from even our abilities to penetrate the passages of time. That sounds quite interesting, perhaps you should speak with him?

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Timeless Treasures
The journal indicates that treasures abound across the island, sometimes temptingly out of reach, and other times hidden in dark caves and hollows. What might have been secreted away here, many generations ago? And perhaps more importantly, by whom?
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Timeless Nutriment
As you have surmised, the flora and fauna of this island are quite unusual. Not all explanations are mysterious, however. Sometimes, we must listen to the land, to hear the tales of the world around us.
The storyline at a glance
The Siege of Orgrimmar has 11 steps, from Journey to the Timeless Isle to The Archiereus Of Flame.
