Objectives

Kill 5 Blackrock Sergeants using the Blackrock Cudgel of Discipline. Defeat them quickly, before they have a chance to unmask you.

Blackrock Sergeant slain x5

Provided item: [Blackrock Cudgel of Discipline]

Description

<Name>? Troteman here.

It sounds like you have earned Thorg'izog's trust, and he's assigned you to discipline duty. This is fortunate.

We need you to take out his sergeants. You'll find them on wolfback, outside the Blackrock Stronghold in the Fields of Honor. Use that cudgel on them, several times, until they die. You'll have to act fast, because if they realize you're not one of them, they can unmask you. Strike quickly and ferociously, <name>.

Completion

Without those sergeants, Thorg'izog will be hard-pressed getting his troops ready for battle.

Already the dominoes are beginning to fall, <name>.

Notes

Before leaving Thorg'izog's postion after accepting I Am the Law and I Am the Lash, Troteman radios in with this quest. Accept it before getting started. The cudgel hits for a quarter of the sergeant's health as well. So unload.

Is that a mask you're wearing, soldier?
What do you think you're doing, soldier!?
I'll slice you in two! Wait a minute... who are you?

You've been spotted! Club your target to death before you are unmasked!

The quest completes automatically after the fifth sergeant is killed.

The surface is rough, covered with fissures and craters, and it regularly quivers with earthquakes. When the realm of fire beneath breaks through, massive volcanoes form, until [[Therazane]]'s [[Elemental#Earth Elemental|earth elementals]] can put a halt to the incursion.<ref name=S&L137/>
+*{{Mob|Blackrock Sergeant}} slain x5
+Provided item: [[Blackrock Cudgel of Discipline]]
+== Description ==
-Deepholm is lined with caves, tunnels and endless passageways. Worms, burrowing animals and other subterranean creatures abound. Gems and jewels of all kinds, including those not known to [[Azeroth (world)|Azeroth]], can be found within, though they are considered the property of Therazane herself. No mining efforts are permitted in her realm. Some sages believe that a few of the precious stones possess strong innate magical powers, but the truth of this speculation may never be verified.<ref name=S&L137/>
+<Name>? {{NPC||Colonel Troteman||Troteman}} here.
+It sounds like you have earned {{NPC||General Thorg'izog||Thorg'izog's}} trust, and he's assigned you to discipline duty. This is fortunate.
-The surface of this land is not pleasant to live on, but hardy plants and animals do eke out an existence here. Life for them is short and vicious, but [[Therazane|Therazane the Stonemother]] nurtures them when she can. Striking at those she considers her "children" is the quickest way to earn her enmity.<ref name=S&L137/>

You'll have to act fast, because if they realize you're not one of them, they can unmask you. Strike quickly and ferociously, <name>.
-In a few rare places, the surface of Deepholm resembles a rocky, deserted section of Azeroth. Visitors to the [[Elemental Plane]] can find some measure of rest here, although the ground does shake and tremble with frightening regularity. Underground, travelers face not only quakes, but also cave-ins, rockslides and other dangers.<ref name=S&L137/>

-In ''[[World of Warcraft: Cataclysm]]'', Deepholm will be a central zone similar to [[Dragonblight]].
+== Notes ==
-'''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.
+Before leaving Thorg'izog's postion after accepting {{quest|I Am the Law and I Am the Lash}}, Troteman radios in with this quest. Accept it before getting started. The cudgel hits for a quarter of the sergeant's health as well. So unload.

+== Patches and hotfixes ==
-While it was originally announced that players would be able to find [[Deathwing]]'s entrance into [[Azeroth (world)|Azeroth]] from Deepholm in an area called [[Deathwing Scar]] north of [[Stormwind City]], the [[Maelstrom]] will now be used for this purpose.<ref name="wor-press-event"/> It is unknown if the various portals throughout Azeroth's new high level zones – that were also planned – will still be used as entrances to Deepholm too and if [[Deathwing Scar]] is still planned as the main entrance to Deepholm.

+Repeat violations may result in a BAN.

-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.
