The [[Old Gods]]' armies were led by the [[Elemental Lord]]s who were powerful elemental lieutenants in their own right: [[Ragnaros the Firelord]], '''Therazane''' the Stonemother, [[Al'Akir|Al'Akir the Windlord]], and [[Neptulon the Tidehunter]].

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.
 
 
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>
 
 
==The war with the titans==
 
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>
 
 
==Appearance==
 
[[File:Therazane.jpg|thumb|Therazane in Cataclysm]]
 
[[File:TherazaneSL.gif|thumb|Therazane from ''[[Shadows & Light]]''.]]
 
''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>
 
 
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.
 
 
== Cataclysm ==
 
{{cata-section}}
 
Therazane is a questgiver in [[Deepholm]], residing at [[Therazane's Throne]]. Her questline is in a similar experience to the [[Sons of Hodir]]'s questline in [[Storm Peaks]].<ref>http://www.mmo-champion.com/content/1790-World-of-Warcraft-Cataclysm-Press-Tour</ref>
 
While she offers quests to adventurers in Deepholm, Therazane makes it clear she has no love for the mortals who killed [[Princess Theradras]], and warns those who speak to her that they will eventually outlive their usefulness.

==Trivia==
 
*[[Princess Theradras]], who (along with [[Zaetar]]) was the progenitor of five clans of [[centaur]], is Therazane's only<ref>{{questlong|neutral|83|At the Stonemother's Call}}</ref> daughter, as stated by the Stonemother herself.
 
*[[Princess Theradras]]' model is called "Tharazun".
 
*[[Ozruk]] is described by Therazane as her child, this may or may not be a literal expression as she may consider all earth elementals her 'children'.
 
*Some have speculated that the [[tauren]] are referring to Therazane when they speak of the kind and gentle Earthmother, this connection is directly made by [[Terrath the Steady]] in his gossip text in Deepholm.
 
*Therazane's name may be derived from {{wplink|terra}}, a Latin word meaning ''earth''.
 
*Her appearance may be based on the {{wplink|Venus of Willendorf}}.
 
*During the ''Cataclysm'' beta, Therazane used Theradras' model as a placeholder. At one point a rather ugly amalgam of several models was allegedly datamined and circulated on forums such as MMO Champion and there was much speculation about what the 'real' Therazane would look like.
