Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• Hope Springs EternalValley of the Four Winds · Level 15-35

  The Shado-Pan are likely dealing with similar outbreaks elsewhere in Pandaria. Seek out Loon Mai, the Shado-Pan Watch Commander in Stoneplow on the western end of the Valley of the Four Winds. Let him know that we have the situation here under control; the Shado-Pan need not send any aid.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• The MantidoteValley of the Four Winds · Level 15-35

  <Mei motions towards the battlefield.> You see those huge mantid commanders out there? They have a strange aura about them. It reminds me of the sadness we saw at Zhu's Watch. Perhaps... they're under the influence of the sha, too?
