Tushui

The Tushui are an organization of Pandaren that follow the path of the Tushui, a philosophy that encourages living a venerable life through meditation, rigorous training, and moral conviction. A number of Pandaren who uphold the tenets of Tushui are drawn to the Alliance due to their similar philosophies and are represented and led by the stalwart Aysa Cloudsinger. The Grand Alliance assist the Tushui against the New Horde supporting Huojin by providing supplies and mutual military cooperation.

The Tushui Philosophy
The way of the Tushui is one of a principled life. Followers of this discipline believe there is a moral certainty to the world: one correct path of right and wrong. These Values are immutable, and must be preserved no matter what the cost. Even if it means self sacrifice, or painful losses in the pursuit of a higher ideal. The Tushui pandaren are contemplative, focused on abstract ideals of justice and morality, and believe and that a principled life is the only one worth living.
