The entity Therazane, known as the Stonemother, is one of the four
Elemental Lords who rule over the various elements of the world. Ruling
over the earth, dirt, rock and the mountains Therazane is revered by
earth elementals and all those that make their home in the ground.
Being the most peaceful of the Elemental Lords, Therazane is slow to
anger which could explain that while she seethes and weeps at the
destruction Deathwing and his evil ilk have brought to the world she
has yet to take any direct action.



Having a humanoid form Therazane appears to be made up of stones and
earth and is covered by many clinging vines. The Stonemother has squat
legs and four imposing arms and is thanks to other prominent features,
undeniably female. For the art history buffs out there, her in-game
model closely resembles the Venus of Willendorf. She also may be the
supposed kind and gentle Earthmother that is revered by the Tauren
race.



Despite her apparent kind and gentle nature the races of the world have
managed to anger this rather imposing lady. Therazane holds all mortals
of the world personally responsible for the death of her daughter,
Princess Theradras, and you will need to prove yourself to her before
she will even consider not grinding you into a pulp.


[protip]Therazane is, understandably, unhappy with you when you first turn up in her throneroom, after all you - yes, you killed her daughter. As a result, you can't talk to her or interact with any of the other NPCs. Don't worry though, while you are hated by her and her minions, they won't actually attack you. [/protip]

Sons of….Therazane?

Much like the Sons of Hodir that were introduced in the Wrath of the
Lich King expansion, players will find themselves starting out as Hated
with Therazane and will need to “prove” themselves
to her and her elemental minions before obtaining access to daily
quests and reputation rewards. To do this players will need to do some
extensive questing in the zone.



What exactly is meant by extensive? Basically you will need to complete
the grand majority of quests in the zone, which will eventually result
in you restoring the World Pillar. It’s been estimated that
at least 70-75 quests must be completed in the zone before you will get
your chance to have your first glimpse of Therazane. So if the faction
is still not available to you, the solution will always be: do more
quests!



Thankfully there is an upside to all the questing needed to open up and
gain the trust of this faction. If you are diligent and complete most
if not all the quests in Deepholm you will find yourself at least
halfway through Honored with the faction before you even have to worry
about doing dailies or running instances, making the journey to Exalted
quite easy.

Earning Reputation

Now that Therazane is somewhat…accepting…of your
presence you can finally access other methods of earning reputation for
this faction:


style="width: 600px; height: 114px;" alt=""
src="http://www.tentonhammer.com/image/view/93633">


Besides
daily quests Therazane reputation can be earned by running instances
with the Tabard of Therazane equipped. The Tabard can be purchased from
the quartermaster at Therazane’s Throne and requires the
player to have achieved Friendly with the faction.



Each instance could potentially yield around 3000 reputation per heroic
instance (normal mode instances will of course produce less reputation
gain) depending on the number of bosses and mobs available inside The
more bosses and mobs, the more reputation you will gain in the
instance. Don’t forget to add in any extra reputation you may
be gaining thanks to the new guild achievement rewards!

Once you have completed the Deepholm quest line, the Therazane dailies
will become available for your questing pleasure. The dailies can vary
from
day to day, with only a limited number being offered each day based
upon your personal reputation with the faction. All dailies except
“Underground Economy” are received at the Throne of
Therazane. In total there are currently ten daily quests available for
the
Therazane faction.

Tips:
A
simple kill and turn in quest, the Fungal Behemoths needed can be found
in the Crimson Expanse, which is located on the upper shelf of
Deepholm, north of Silvermarsh, south of the Verlok Stand and east of
the Twilight Precipice.

Destroy 10 of the newly sprouted mushrooms in the Crimson Expanse.

style="font-weight: bold;">Tips: The
mushrooms needed for this quest are smallish intractable objects, most
commonly found at the base of the red crystal formations protruding
from the ground in the Crimson Expanse on the eastern side of Deepholm,
although they can also be found around the base of any terrain feature
(bigger mushrooms, rocks, ect). Simply destroy any 10 of these
mushrooms to complete the quest. Be warned that destroying the mushroom
sometimes causes side effects.

mushroom usually found near the water. style="font-style: italic;">Shuffletruffle: Small

Tips:
style="font-style: italic;">While the quest
information and the in-game quest helper will both direct you to the
Crimson Strand for these Troggs, these can be best found on the topmost
tier of the Verlok Strand which is north of the Crimson Expanse, and
north east of the Temple of Earth. Both Verlok Shroomtenders
and  Verlok Grubthumpers are able to drop the quest item so
simply kill these until you get lucky. It is rumored however, that the
drop rate for this quest item may be significantly higher for
Verlok’s that drop a vial (which will make a crash sound),
giving itself the buff Fungal Craze. The validity of this claim has not
been fully tested.

Tips: style="font-style: italic;"> style="font-style: italic;">Another simple kill and
turn in quest, the Gyreworms needed can be found in large numbers
inside
the Crumbling Depths a series of caves found just south of
Therazane’s Throne, with a few stragglers that can be found
outside. These worms prefer to spend most of their time below the
surface, only popping up from time to time, however waiting is not
nessacary. Simply look for the worm’s tell tale dust trail
and stand above it, you will soon be greeted by a very angry
worm.

Tips:
style="font-style: italic;">The Motes in quest
resemble smallish
green crystals and are strewn throughout the Crumbling Depths. The
Crumbling depths is a cave which can be found just south of Therazane's
Throne between the Pale Roost and the Crimson Expanse. Simply collect
10 of these motes to complete this quest.

Tips:
To
complete this quest you must escort Pebble safely out of the
Crumbling Deeps (a cave which can be found just south of
Therazane’s Throne). To complete this quest  enter
the cave and take out any Gyreworms that get in your path. Moving a bit
further into the cave, you will then be faced with a round room
containing the Colossal Gyreworm. Avoid being eaten by this worm by
waiting for the worm to pass then following directly behind and
sneaking into a small side passage. Wait for the worm to pass again and
continue on into the first main chamber. Take the first right from
here and then an immediate left, Pebble can be found channeling here.
Backtrack with Pebble in tow to leave the cave. Use caution as being
eaten by the Colossal Gyreworm will reset the quest and you will need
to retrieve Pebble again.

Tips:
style="font-style: italic;">Ruby Crystal Clusters can
be found inside the Crumbling Depths
(a cave which can be found just south of Therazane’s Throne)
at the end of dead end tunnels and will be marked with a skull on your
minimap. Clicking the cluster will spawn a level 83 Enormous Gyreworm
with a little over 100k health that will drop the quest item once
defeated.

Tips:
This
is the only quest that is not obtained at
Therazane’s Throne. Instead this can be picked up from a tiny
Goblin found inside the Crumbling Deeps. To complete this quest you
*must* use Rocet’s Tickers to break off the crystals listed
above. The crystal formations are NOT the spiky balls, but rather,
pillars with one type in each of the four rooms of the cave.

Ruberick style="font-weight: bold;">Reputation Gained:

The
Glop Family Line

Tips: style="font-style: italic;"> This quest only becomes
available once you are Revered with the
Therazane faction and once you have completed the quest
“Wrath of the Fungalmancer”. Earthmender Norsala
can be found just inside a small cave, the entrance of which can be
seen on your map between the Verlok Stand and the Crimson Expanse.
Being the NPC for the daily and the normal quest she will frequently be
missing. Simply wait for her to respawn (about 5 minutes) then speak
with her to start the quest. You will then be lead on a wild goose
chase throughout the cave until you finally kill Fungalmancer Glop.

style="font-style: italic;">350 style="font-weight: bold;">Related
Achievement: style="font-style: italic;">My Very Own Broodmother

Tips:
This quest is exactly as same
as the normal quest
“Resonating Blow” and requires Revered with the
Therazane faction to access. To summon Aeosera head the the center of
The Pale Roost, west of Therazane’s Throne where you will
find a pale green crystal. Strike the
crystal with the hammer provided
to you and rocks will descend. Jump from rock to rock until you reach
the top and can do damage to her. Avoid her attacks by jumping to a
close by rock.
