||
+ | '''Deepholm''' (a.k.a. the Elemental Plane of Earth) is where [[Deathwing]] was nursed back to health after the events of [[Day of the Dragon]]. After he regained his health he ruptured out through the middle section of Deepholm above the [[Temple of Earth]], which housed the [[World Pillar]]. For a while the temple was the main base of operations for [[Twilight's Hammer]], but after the rupture [[The Earthen Ring]] took control of the temple in an attempt to stabilize the fractured [[World Pillar]]. Meanwhile [[Deathwing]]'s return to Azeroth caused all four elemental [[planes]] to become unstable, thus allowing [[Elemental Lord]]s to visit the surface. |

World of Warcraft: Cataclysm
Deepholm (a.k.a. the Elemental Plane of Earth) is where Deathwing was nursed back to health after the events of Day of the Dragon. After he regained his health he ruptured out through the middle section of Deepholm above the Temple of Earth, which housed the World Pillar. For a while the temple was the main base of operations for Twilight's Hammer, but after the rupture The Earthen Ring took control of the temple in an attempt to stabilize the fractured World Pillar. Meanwhile Deathwing's return to Azeroth caused all four elemental planes to become unstable, thus allowing Elemental Lords to visit the surface.
Of the many unique features, players will encounter a variety of stone and crystalline creatures in Deepholm,[6][7] including familiars such as drakes, spiders and worms composed entirely of stone and minerals!
While it was originally announced that players would be able to find Deathwing's entrance into Azeroth from Deepholm in an area called Deathwing Scar north of Stormwind City, the Maelstrom will now be used for this purpose.[6]
Therazane will be in charge of a daily quest and reputation faction hub – similar to the Sons of Hodir – in Deepholm.[6][7]
Gunships similar to Orgrim's Hammer and The Skybreaker will both be present in Deepholm, but the Horde gunship, Storm's Fury, has been shot down by the Alliance gunship, Llane's Oath, so players must find out how this happened.[6][7]
Inside resides the Temple of Earth. Inside it is a stone called the World Pillar. It bore the weight of all elemental and magnetic forces in Deepholm. However, it was shattered when Deathwing broke through into Azeroth. If it is not pieced back together, Deepholm will collapse into Azeroth.
