'''Valley of the Four Winds''' is a tranquil plain of lush farmland, bordered by dense mysterious jungles along the south and impassible mountains to the north. The valley is considered the "breadbasket" of [[Pandaria]], but the yearā€™s harvest is in jeopardy and a terrible malaise has overcome the pandaren that live along the coast. The valley is also the home of the legendary [[Stormstout Brewery]], where [[Chen Stormstout]] and his niece [[Li Li]] hope to journey to discover the whereabouts of their long-lost ancestors.<ref>[http://us.battle.net/wow/en/game/mists-of-pandaria/feature/zone Mists of Pandaria Zones]</ref>
