I was reading up on the Jade Forest recently and it scared me to think about the Jade Witch and all she did. All the statues, who she would lure into her garden and take advantage of. I am so proud of Blizzard for letting us stop her abusing children.
How do you react to the Jade Witch in RP? Does your character always want to stop her? Or does your faction want to let her continue?
The Jade Witch died back during MoP questing, but I canât think of many of my characters who would have approved of the jadeification even if given the chance now!
It does make one wonder if there are other witches about in Pandaria.
I think my main problem with this quest line is the reluctance of the local authorities of Dawn Blossom to intervene themselves, probably due to a lack of âevidenceâ or apathy. They just donât believe the stories of the children who are suffering at her hand.
Indeed! It is terrifying that we, the player, had to intervene while Dawn Blossom did nothing. How didnât they know what happened to everyone, or that there was an apparent danger? I guess itâd be bad for business.
I hope we get to see her again in the next expansion!
I think in many instances, people simply did not see the Jade Witch do anything wrong. She just seemed kindly and sweet, so most just glossed over the claims.
Some ancient mogu scrolls say that Emperor Shaohao was photographed walking among the Jade Witchâs gardens, speaking with the villain and has ever since ordered the most valued shado pan to suppress word of the witchâs dark spellcraft
I donât know if thatâs canon though - it was in one of the RPG books or perhaps Traveller: The Spiral Path
I report such when I see it. If I myself witnessed such a person mistreat the innocent, I would also have to take it to the proper authorities. As should everyone.
I can only hope others have had the jade stones to put their words into action. Hot air means very little to a statue.
Noodle Express? Yeah, I heard that rumour. You wouldâve known if the Emperor was there, though, heâs unable to sweat after his heroic actions in the wars against the Mogu and they do some pretty spicy offerings.
