Friend-

What you been hearing? Baine Bloodhoof wrote to say that Garrosh is capturing mogu and using some sort of energy the Pandaren call "sha." There ain't no power he won't abuse.

Baine says he going to stay close to him. Garrosh probably don't trust the tauren chieftain, but he trust you. Keep Baine out of trouble for me. We going to need him.

He is in the Shadows place, when I walked in he was not there, came to wowhead to see if there was anything special and found nothing. So I sat for a few minutes then he spawned.

I am not sure if there was someone else that had just killed him or what, but if he is not there just wait a couple minutes and he will show up.
