Overview
The Shado-Pan, known as the Sword in the Shadows and the Watchers on the Wall, are Pandaria’s secretive elite defenders. They protect the pandaren empire against threats such as the sha and mantid, combining disciplined martial training with scouting, hunting, espionage, and assassination; their personnel and methods form the foundation of the later Jade Corps.
