The [[Old Gods]] chaotic forces raged across the face of the world and when the [[titan]]s arrived on [[Azeroth (world)|Azeroth]] they clashed. Though the elementals were powerful beyond mortal comprehension, their combined forces could not stop the mighty titans. One by one, the elemental lords fell, and their forces dispersed. The [[Pantheon]] shattered the Old Gods' citadels and chained three of the five evil gods far beneath the surface of the world. Without the Old Gods' power to keep their raging spirits bound to the physical world, the elementals were banished to an abyssal plane, where they would contend with one another for all eternity. With the elementals' departure, nature calmed, and the world settled into a peaceful harmony.<ref>[[The Old Gods and the Ordering of Azeroth]]</ref>

===Cataclysm===
  +
After witnessing the devastation [[Deathwing]] and his followers caused her realm, Therazane treats all outsiders with open hostility.
−
We need you! You were stuck in some kind of nightmare. So are many of the other shaman.
 
  +
  +
Therazane, also known as the Stonemother, is the elemental lord of earth, an ancient and immensely powerful counterpart of [[Ragnaros]], [[Al'Akir]], and [[Neptulon]]. Unlike the realms of Al'Akir and Ragnaros, however, her domain-that of the earth, rock, and mountains-has put her in immediate conflict with Deathwing, whose emergence from Deepholm has pushed her stony realm to the point of collapse.
   
  +
Though Therazane has no love for mortals, she recognizes the role that these races might play in restoring Deepholm and evicting the [[Twilight's Hammer]], who have flocked to her kingdom to bask in the glory of Deathwing's former sanctum. Heroes who seek the aid of the Stonemother will find that her favor can confer many blessings; among them are powerful augmenting stones borne up from Deepholm itself to strengthen the armor of those who serve Therazane's will.<ref>[http://us.battle.net/wow/en/faction/therazane Therazane]</ref>
−
It doesn't matter... our plan is falling apart. Some of our shaman are channeling protective auras that should combat the digestive juices and keep you alive, but we need you to rescue the other shaman from the tentacles. We won't be able to defeat Iso'rath without them!
 
   
  +
==Description==
−
Don't stay out in the stomach without the other shaman for too long or you'll be digested alive!
 
  +
[[File:TherazaneSL.gif|thumb|Therazane from ''[[Shadows & Light]]''.]]
   
  +
Therazane is a monstrous humanoid covered with stones, earth, and clinging plants. She has squat legs and four powerful arms. Her unblinking eyes of gold-flecked [[agate]] look out into the world from her one head, but there are two other faces to be seen as well.

== Rewards ==
 
−
You will receive: {{cost|9}} (or {{cost|13|15|50}} at max level)
 
   
  +
Therazane the Stonemother is ruler over the earth, dirt, rock, and mountains. She is revered by all [[earth elemental]]s and creatures that dwell underneath the ground. Some [[Druid of the wild|druids of the wild]] see her as the embodiment of all that is peaceful and calm about the world. Some sages believe she feels pain whenever the ground is sundered and weeps at the destruction wrought by Deathwing and his ilk. If so, however, she has done nothing specific to oppose the great dragon. Therazane is the most peaceful of the [[Elemental Lord]]s. She is a patient, loving, motherly type who encourages growing things and loves simply to spend long periods of time relaxing with those creatures that make their homes upon her. She often feels as though she is always at war with the other [[Elemental Lord]]s: [[Al'Akir]] erodes her surface with winds, [[Neptulon]] beats his waves constantly upon her shores, and [[Ragnaros]] is a blazing furnace that churns at her fiery core. She would be perfectly happy if the three of them would just go away. Therazane is slow to anger and attempts to avoid combat whenever possible. If roused to battle, however, she can be a fearsome, powerful opponent. She typically drives toward the most dangerous foe, smashing her target into tiny red pieces before moving on to the next. Should she be seriously challenged, she simply sinks into the earth and retreats.<ref>''[[Shadows & Light]]'', pg. 106-107</ref>

==Appearance==
  +
''As you watch, the earth ahead seems to rise up, forming into a monstrous humanoid covered with stones, earth and clinging plants. It has squat legs and four powerful arms, and the suggestion of large, saggy breasts and wide hips indicate that this creature is undeniably female. Unblinking eyes of gold-flecked agate stare at you from a face that seems curious, inquisitive… and you see what appear to be two other faces beside the one that regards you now, one of anger and fury, the other of perhaps sorrow and longing.''<ref>''[[Shadows & Light]]'', pg. 106</ref>

United with the Earthen Ring, we can survive the horrors of Iso'rath. Now it is time to turn our vengeance upon him!
 
   
  +
In Cataclysm, she appears as a spherical, obese, floating woman with only one visible face and only two arms. Two vestigial legs hang beneath her, treading the air. Like her daughter, she uses her hair to cover her breasts. A number of purple crystals grow on her, and some are also used by her as jewelery.
−
== Notes ==
 
−
This quest automatically accepts. A new bar appears near the bottom of the screen, slowly filling from left to right. This reflects the state of Digestive Corrosion: Being slowly digested by Iso'rath. Damage increases as the meter increases.
 
   
  +
==Cataclysm==
−
The only way players can decrease the meter is by getting inside one of the healing bubbles, which also restore 4412 health a second. Circle around the interior and kill the non-elite tentacles to free the other shaman, who will join the player. Start with the tentacle just to the player's northeast.

Biography

The war with the titans

The Old Gods chaotic forces raged across the face of the world and when the titans arrived on Azeroth they clashed. Though the elementals were powerful beyond mortal comprehension, their combined forces could not stop the mighty titans. One by one, the elemental lords fell, and their forces dispersed. The Pantheon shattered the Old Gods' citadels and chained three of the five evil gods far beneath the surface of the world. Without the Old Gods' power to keep their raging spirits bound to the physical world, the elementals were banished to an abyssal plane, where they would contend with one another for all eternity. With the elementals' departure, nature calmed, and the world settled into a peaceful harmony.[1]

Cataclysm

After witnessing the devastation Deathwing and his followers caused her realm, Therazane treats all outsiders with open hostility.

Therazane, also known as the Stonemother, is the elemental lord of earth, an ancient and immensely powerful counterpart of Ragnaros, Al'Akir, and Neptulon. Unlike the realms of Al'Akir and Ragnaros, however, her domain-that of the earth, rock, and mountains-has put her in immediate conflict with Deathwing, whose emergence from Deepholm has pushed her stony realm to the point of collapse.

Though Therazane has no love for mortals, she recognizes the role that these races might play in restoring Deepholm and evicting the Twilight's Hammer, who have flocked to her kingdom to bask in the glory of Deathwing's former sanctum. Heroes who seek the aid of the Stonemother will find that her favor can confer many blessings; among them are powerful augmenting stones borne up from Deepholm itself to strengthen the armor of those who serve Therazane's will.[2]
