I feel that this needs to be addressed.
The August Celestials. They play a critical part of Pandaria's lore, serving as advisors and even trainers to the best of the best.
Xuen the White Tiger is shown training warriors at his temple, Nizao being with the Shado-Pan.
Yu'lon even had priests and priestesses with her as well as having a library dedicated to the preservation of Pandaria's rich history.
The only one that at the time doesn't have any Pandarens training under him is Chi'Ji the Red Crane. But that's because his temple got infested with the Sha.
So let's talking about them here.
In my story, the August Celestials are shown to be very friendly to the Dragon Aspects. Malygos mentioning that he and Chi-Ji used to joke around. Neltharion was good friends with Yu'lon. That sort of thing.
According to wowpedia, the August Celestials are actually a version of Ancients much like Aviana and Cenarius.
In the War of the Ancients Trilogy, Cenarius and Ysera are implied to have an intimate relationship with each other and it is very possible that they probably had kids. So it is very implied that the Dragon Aspects and the Ancients probably helped each other to maintain Azeroth.
Little added Addendum. Yes, in my story Lo'Gosh, aka Goldrinn, the Wolf Ancient is inside of Varian. I may have him at least educate Varion of Neltharion's past a little as well.
Yes, people, Varian still has a demigod inside of him.
So let's talk about the August Celestials.
First up is Yu'lon.
Yu'lon the Jade Serpent is the embodiment of Wisdom. We first meet her at her temple, as a Pandaren cub. She explains that every few thousand years, she has to return to her statue to renew her powers and be reborn. Her statue also held the Sha of Doubt under it.
She's the one who advised Emperor Shaohao during the invasion of the Burning Legion as he searched to find a way to save Pandaria from the demons and the Sundering of the World.
In my story, she's a friend of Neltharion. She admired his wisdom. She'll be the first that Nel will meet, and she'll tell him about his past once he asks her. Hell, she'll even mention that the lowering of the mists was Neltharion's fault...or at least state that the actions of Deathwing helped to destroy them. She also test the PC and Wrathion's wisdom during the legendary cloak quest.
Next up is Chi-Ji
The Red Crane is the embodiment of Hope. Though we don't get to see him much in the game. He had to deal with the Sha of Despair in the Krasarang Wilds. He tells Shaohao not to give into despair either.
In my story, Chi-Ji and Malygos were close, enjoying each other's company and telling funny stories and jokes together.
He also tests Wrathion and telling him not to lose hope...and saying that he needs to hear that more than anyone.
Nizao
The Black Ox of Fortitude. I almost wanna call him the Ox of Endurance as well. He's the embodiment of pretty much never giving up. No matter how much you endure, never give up. You fall, you fail.
Not much on this guy either from what I've read. But he does meet Shaohao who tells him not to be afraid of the Sha of Fear when Shaohao goes beyond the Serpent's Spine. He also tests Wrathion.
Now have Xuen
Xuen the White Tiger is Strength. More about him due to the fact that he's the guy who we meet to convince to open up the Vale of Eternal Blossoms. While Taran Zhu goes against it.
He tests Wrathion as well.
But the big one here is that in my story, when we get to the scene where Anduin and Sunwalker Dezco meet Xuen at his temple, that's when I'll have Neltharion show up.
And Xuen is gonna be shocked. Oh, and if Taran Zhu starts saying something impolite about Neltharion as well, you better believe Xuen's gonna tell him to shut his pie hole.
Mostly because of what I have plan for how we're gonna get the Vale opened.
But basically each of these Ancients do remember Neltharion, they know who he is and what he is. They know the other Dragon Aspects as well.
Some of you who may have read Chapter 10 probably noticed that when Neltharion thought his title would mean something so he could meet the Jade Serpent sooner, and Ren saying that..well it doesn't due to no one remembering him in Pandaria...yeah...that's gonna get flipped on its butt.
The moment Neltharion meets Yu'lon, that's when Yu'lon informs the Pandarens just who it is they're looking at.
Not only that, but the August Celestials are gonna race over to Neltharion, probably asking him some questions too. There's a lot that has happened to Azeroth that they don't know about due to the mists.
In a likely scenario, the August Celestials might drop everything they are doing so that they could meet up with Neltharion and the other Aspects. And Neltharion himself has his own questions that can be revealed by the August Celestials.
One of those is the relationship between Neltharion and the Pandarens. Or maybe what's going on with the Sha.
So, there's a lot of elements that I'm gonna put in this story.
But is there something you want me to do with the August Celestials and Neltharion as well?
I will say this, when Chi-Ji finds out that Malygos died and is now just a ghost, he's not gonna be very happy. Like I said, they were good friends. Not as close as Neltharion and Malygos are to each other, but still good friends.
It's like me having a fairly good friend and then finding out after a few years she just passed away. Lots of regret on Chi-Ji's part, I'll tell yah.
