Bleeding Sun
Weng is part of a contingent from the Golden Lotus sent to the Shrine of Two Moons to seek a new guardian among the children there, and assists Zhi the Harmonious in performing a "simple test" involving the use of a special gong to find the child. When one of Sunwalker Dezco's children is chosen by Chi Ji, Dezco decides to return with his children to Mulgore, declining the order's expectations. When the order learns of Dezco's departure through the embattled Vale, a small party comprising Weng, Rook and Mokimo the Strong is sent to intercept Dezco, in order to protect him and his children. The party encounters Dezco traveling with a group of refugees, and Weng helps feed the group as they spend the night between villages. Later that night the group is attacked by quilen, and Weng assists in the defense of the group, with Mokimo sending him to wake the refugees and hitch the carts in preparation of a speedy escape. When Mokimo and Rook move to attend to the mogu responsible for the attack, Weng remains behind to protect the refugees.
