Does anyone know where I can find just general information about Chi-JI? I checked the wikis but they only go as far as to mention what happens in game.
I’m curious as to what his relationship to the monk class is and just how well represented he is as one of the summonable aspects for the class.
He’s one of the four August Celestials, which are Wild Gods that have chosen to watch over Pandaria. I don’t know how much else there really is to know about him, besides general information about the Celestials such as their cooperation with the Pandaran Emperor Shaohao. He has a temple in the Krasarang Wilds that I believe has some quests you could play through to get some more direct interaction with him.
I don’t recall specifics but there’s probably a bit more in the Chronicles, which you could buy or go check out at a library perhaps (or find a digital version with some creative Googling, I’m sure).
Baring some more obscure cases I’ve personally found that if it can’t be found in quest text, Chronicle, or Wowpedia there probably isn’t more to be seen.
Within the lore, Chi-Ji teaches “hope”, and the Sha assaulting his Temple is the Sha of Despair, against which Hope is the only cure.
