Only the bravest pandaren dare enter these highlands. Although the area remains uncorrupted by the Sha, only the nomadic yaungols and the mantid choose to make the region their home.

The mantid are a rampaging insect race separated from the rest of Pandaria by the Serpent's Spine. They devour everything in their path in order to build their own crystalline empire of ruthless warriors and scheming feudal lords. The pandaren are left reeling when the mantid's hundred-year cycle of aggression kicks off ten years too early and their greatest warriors burst through the great wall. The beleaguered pandaren must now face the worst swarm in recorded history while trying to isolate the cause of the mantid's erratic behavior.
