Greetings all!
The Return of the Damned host team is back with another Campaign, and we’re hoping everyone was content with our last Campaign! This time we shall return to Pandaria as voted by the discord community!
Prologue
The rise of Xinshi
In the ancient times, the Xinlu family was a powerful faction within the Pandaren empire, one such familly member, descending from centuries of warriors, Xinshi had always believed that she should be the ruler of the Pandarens. The Xinlu family, but in particular Xinshi had always looked down on their race and still uses slavery on her own kind.
Emboldened by the defeat of the Thunder King, Xinshi has been planning and preparing for years for a hostile take over of Pandaria. Starting with an attack by her followers on an Shado-Pan Caravan which transported a powerful ancient sword belonging to the kings of old. Having the blade within her possession, Xinshi now had the power to mind control her enemies and has done so to take over the mind of several powerful Mogu warlords.
Xinshi saw her army grow by the day as she stayed within the shadows to continue her preparations for the coming invasion.
Knowing full well what this loss of the sword meant, the Shado-Pan calls out for aid to both the Alliance and the Horde after the attack. Now standing with Mogu, Trolls and renegade Pandaren alike, it is up to the combined strength of the factions to save Pandaria from a tyrant.
