The Ordon are a large warlike tribe of yaungol found on the Timeless Isle. While the yaungol as a race are usually associated with fire, the Ordon base their entire culture around it. The Ordon worship and are led by Ordos, a yaungol shaman who sacrificed himself to the flame to become a demigod. As a threat to Pandaria, they are opposed by the recently awoken Emperor Shaohao and his allies. They offer rewards such as the [Reins of the Ashhide Mushan Beast] to those who would kill their enemies (AKA, everyone else).
History[]
The pandaren monks of the Timeless Isle once lived in peace with the Ordon, before the Isle vanished and was lost to the timeways.[1]
When the village of Pi'jiu was attacked by the Ordon yaungol generations ago, the villagers bravely erected a keg in the center of the village. The following morning, after the celebration had died down, the still-drunken yaungol blearily agreed to a peace treaty.[2]
Culture[]
Yaungol fire-keepers ritualistically set themselves ablaze to emulate the ascension of Ordos, and cast enchantments and prayers to ease his pain.[3] Before attacking, the Ordon yaungol will often summon a storm of ash to blind their foes.[4] High-ranking Ordon chanters can control the weather, ensuring that snow and rain never fall on the eternal fires of the Ordon Sanctuary.[5] Ritualistic sacrifice is a requirement to enter the ranks of the Ordon.[6] Ordon Fire-Watchers carry the ashes of their victims in a special pouch that keeps them smouldering.[7] Followers of Ordos carry small cauldrons of fire with them for long journeys into the wilderness.[8]

Gaining Bloody Coins[]
Those who choose to join the burning ranks of the Ordon, the yaungol followers of Ordos, will have access to the powers of the [Censer of Eternal Agony]. Using the Censer will flag you for PvP to everyone-even your own faction. Your skin takes on a bright flame effect, showing all around that you've summoned the rage of Ordos and are out for blood. Using the Censer also immediately reduces your health to 10% of its maximum (which you can then heal back up over time), keeping it from becoming a quick ganking device. On PvE realms, the rules of flagging still apply; it won't become open warfare, but players can choose to engage these flagged players if they like. On PvP realms, though, this menacing new threat will certainly be a target for both factions. Finally, when you kill other players while you’re under the effects of the Censer, you'll gain Bloody Coins, a currency that can be exchanged for exclusive rewards.[9] Bloody Coins are also acquired via world pvp on the Timeless Isle after using a [Fire-Watcher's Oath] to take the form of an Ordon yaungol. Using either item will flag the player for PvP and make them hostile to both factions.
