The Jade Forest storyline covers all of the quests leading to and in the Jade Forest. Both factions start out in their capital cities of Stormwind and Orgrimmar before shipping out to Pandaria. An encounter with the opposite faction takes place and both factions crash land at opposite ends of the zone. After getting settled, adventurers push forward to Dawn's Blossom and start uncovering the mysteries of Pandaria.
The progression of the storyline in this zone is tracked in the achievement [Upjade Complete].
After discovering the secrets of the Temple of the Jade Serpent and the Serpent's Heart, players are sent to the Valley of the Four Winds. Very early in the valley storyline (the third quest in!), players are given the opportunity to travel to Krasarang Wilds and complete the parallel wilds storyline instead of questing through the valley.
