A friend of Li Li, Catelyn the Blade, is ship wrecked.
I assume this is new information, but Catelyn has a wife and therefore is another LGBTQIA+ member within the WoW Universe.
Li Li and Chen take Catelyn on a tour of Pandaria while her ship is being repaired in Anglers Wharf.
Throughout their physical journey, Li Li has an internal journey where she reflects on her own burdens like Shaohao had endured.
Krasarang Wilds
They meet a Tuskarr that stopped by from the Dragon Isles and Li Li expresses an interest in visiting someday.
The Crane Wing Order strive to live more full lives after having endured the Sha of Despair in the past.

Sentinel Basecamp has been abandoned and is slowly being retaken by the wilds.
Thunder Cleft remains and the Tauren there are helping heal the land.

It seems that Ordos is still alive.
Jade Forest
Garrosh’ar Point has been dismantled.
Sunke Khang is now retired as mayor of Paw’don Village.
The apple trees of Pad’don Glade were chopped down during MoP by the Horde. They’ve since finally started producing their first cycle of apples, but the cider they turn into isn’t nearly as tasty compared to the time before the Horde and Alliance set foot on the island.
The statue at Serpent’s Heart had been nearly complete during MoP before it was destroyed. The new statue is still several years away from being completed. The wording is “years ago”, and it’s been 9 years since the end of MoP. The new statue has no wards and protects no seals, it’s entirely to allow for Yu’lons cycle of rebirth.
The Saurok of the Windward Isles have since been driven away.
The jade statues of the Jade Witch have been reverted back into people.
The ruins at the Terrace of Ten Thunders are peaceful in present times.
Kun-Lai Summit
After the Siege of Orgrimmar, the brewmasters and monks of pandaria led a charge into Kun-Lai to defeat the Yaungol and push them back into Towlong Stepppes. Since then, the lands have healed and there are little signs of their camps, just the occasional ruined farmhouse or wreckage that nature is reclaiming.
Farmers are slowly returning but are worried of losing their land again so aren’t in a rush.
Kang Bramblestaff has since become the mayor of Binan Village.
The Gate of the August Celestials appears to remain closed.

The Path of the Conquerors is still haunted by unquiet spirits.
While Zouchin Village has been rebuilt, there are still signs of the Zandalari invasion, like arrowheads. Additionally, a new Stormstout Brewery has been constructed there, having finished construction a few years prior to the events of the book.
The Peak of Serenity remains destroyed and abandoned following the events of Legion.
Towlong Steppes
The yaungol rule the Towlong Steppes. While no longer at open war with them, the trio don’t expect they’d be treated nicely. Pandaria doesn’t trut the yaungol yet.
Longying Outpost is still used for the Shado-pan can maintain a presence in the Steppe and to watch the yaungol closely so the breach of the Ox Gate isn’t repeated.
The Gao-Ran Battlefront has been quiet of mantid attacks.
The mantid continue to build at Kri’vess, and not nearly as aggressive as they once were.
The mantid colony of Sra’vess is very quiet.
The Niuzao Sentinels have been rebuilding their temple.
Lao-Chin the Iron Belly is still in charge of a small outpost at Dusklight Hollow.
Isle of Thunder
The Kirin Tor and Sunreavers remain, and appear to have a truce. The conflict of before has turned to friendly competition.
The Thunder Forge is being used by Horde and Alliance alike to craft weapons they assure the trio would be used to defend all of Azeroth.

Since the defeat of the Sha, the corruption that once blanketed the Dread Wastes has retreated.
The section of the wall that the mantid breached to break into the Valley of the Four Winds has been repaired, and the mantid are no longer constantly attacking it in force.

The stone foundation of the Imperial Granary is still singed in some places from the fel flame the Burning Legion wielded during the Legion invasion.
The waters from the Pools of Purity are back to being as clear and sweet as they were before the Burning Legion attacked and tried desecrating them.
Mudmug’s place hasn’t changed much, but there are no longer hozen or alemental problems.
Veiled Stair
The Terrace of Endless Springs is freely open.
Vale of Eternal Blossoms
In reality, it seems the gates are actually opened as the trio walk from Kun-Lai into the Vale of Eternal Blossoms.
The Vale has healed a great deal. While better, however, it still isn’t as it once was and likely never will be.
The Ruins of Guo-Lai have become akin to a museum for the Lorewalkers.
The Golden Pagoda has since been rebuilt, a very detailed copy that was recreated with the help from sketches, paintings and the memories of Golden Lotus members and other guardians of the Vale. The mogu statues have also since been repaired.
The Shrine of Two Moons and Shrine of Seven Stars both get use from those interested in helping Pandaria.
The sacred pool that was destroyed to make way for the Big Blossom Excavation has since been rebuilt.
Part of the Big Blossom Mine has been filled in, and all of it is overgrown with new grass and a few young trees.
Mogu’shan Palace is being watched over by the Shado-pan in case the mogu ever try to return one day. The lorewalkers also use it as a museum.
At some point, Brann Bronzebeard had spent some time at the Seat of Knowledge. Since then, the Lorewalkers have been corresponding with the Explorers’ League, Kirin Tor, and the Cenarion Circle, among others. Perhaps some Pandaren are still uncertain about the mists being gone, but the Lorewalkers have been beyond eager to connect with the wider world.

The gate that once closed off Pei-Wu forest now stands open.
The Temple of the Five Dawns is quieter now than it was during Legion. The monks of Pandaria have largely returned to their home temples, though now people travel regularly back and forth.
