From Press Release:
You’ve ended Deathwing’s destructive rampage; now, you must unlock the mysteries of a lost continent and discover the dark secrets of Pandaria’s past. Explore ancient kingdoms hidden since before the Sundering, plunder vast treasures from the depths of the forgotten vaults, and rise to defend Pandaria from the shadow of a long-buried evil before it is too late.
