Okay, so I admit this is old material, but it piqued my curiosity. I was doing MoP Classic, and in a minor early quest with the Jinyu, they summon an ancestral spirit with a grand title.
So, who WAS this guy? Was he ruler of all of Pandaria? Just the ruler of the jinyu? When did he reign? Before Thunder King consolidated the whole land, or after Shaohao, the last Pandaren Emperor abdicated? Inbetween? We still don’t know much about rulership of Pandaria at all- if could have been an elected office rather than dynastic succession, or just ‘Current Emperor can pick ANYONE he deems worthy’, making a Jinyu ruler over the whole land more plausible.
