== Choose your faction ==

All pandaren players start as {{neutral}} Neutral at the starting zone of the [[Wandering Isle]].

At around level 10, after completing a starting zone quest chain, players will encounter the quest {{questlong|Neutral|12|A New Fate}} where they must choose to join either the {{FactionIcon2|Alliance Pandaren|Small}} Alliance or the {{FactionIcon2|Horde Pandaren|Small}} Horde.
  +
  +
=== {{FactionIcon2|Alliance Pandaren|Small}} Alliance ===
  +
The leader of this group of pandaren is {{NPC|Alliance|Aysa Cloudsinger}} and she will instruct you in the way of [[Tushui]] through meditation, rigorous training, and moral conviction.
  +
  +
=== {{FactionIcon2|Horde Pandaren|Small}} Horde ===
  +
The leader of this group of pandaren is {{NPC|Horde|Ji Firepaw}} and he will drive you in the outgoing, passionate way of [[Huojin]], believing inaction is the greatest injustice.

This article is about the playable pandaren. For general history of the race, see Pandaren. For the language, see Pandaren language.
“
Couched in myth and legend, rarely seen and even more rarely understood, the enigmatic pandaren have long been a mystery to the other races of Azeroth. The noble history of the pandaren people stretches back thousands of years, well before the empires of man and before even the sundering of the world.

Pandarens playable

The World of Warcraft expansion, Mists of Pandaria introduced a new race, the Pandaren. Pandaren are the first "neutral" race in World of Warcraft. After completing a series of quests, you can decide whether to join the Horde or Alliance.

New character

New character cut-scene intro voice-over (during the fly-thru):[1]

You are a pandaren. Born and raised on the mysterious Wandering Isle. While many of your fellow pandaren prefer a tranquil life, the lure of adventure burns in your blood.
Recently, the Wandering Isle has begun erratically weaving about the world's oceans. The air grows cold and your island home is spiraling towards disaster...
As one of the most promising of students at Master Shang's monastery, you may just be the salvation for your people. But first, you must complete your training...

Mount speculation

Questionmark-medium
This article or section includes speculation, observations or opinions possibly supported by lore or by Blizzard officials. It should not be taken as representing official lore.
  • Blizzplanet speculated that a new goat-like creature called the shaghorn might be the new pandaren mount.[3]
  • The appearance of a large yak in a preview images[4][5] and confirmation via twitter by Blizzard Entertainment Bashiok[6] that this would be a mount in Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Inlinegfx/img_link_data.json' not found. Mists of Pandaria has led some to believe this will be the Pandaren racial mount. Unfortunately, they were confirmed by blue post to not be the pandaren racial mount.[7]

Notes

  • The Male Pandaren dance is LMFAO- Party Rock Anthem and the Female Pandaren dance is Caramelldansen.[citation needed]
  • You can't befriend or mail a Pandaren character until after they have chosen a faction.[8]
  • The pandaren were originally intended to be the Alliance race for the World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade expansion, but it was felt that the draenei were a better fit for the storyline.[9]
  • As of early 2012, there was a rumor that the actor Jack Black was signed on to perform the voice of the male Pandaren[citation needed] (he is known for his role as Po in the animated movie, Kung Fu Panda), but that was already ruled out by Chris Metzen at BlizzCon 2011.[10]
