Objectives

Collect 6 Irestone Cores.

•  [Irestone Core] x6

Description

Elementals are chaotic by nature, but dis kind of organized aggression is out of character. More so down here where dere deaths be a bit more permanent. I suspect dis is Therazane the Stonemother's doin', but I have to be sure.

Destroy da Irestone Rumblers and bring me their cores. We'll be settlin' here and now if dis is da Stonemother's hatred brought down on us.

Progress

We've never been claimin' a great friendship with da Elemental Lords, but we still be trustin' in a bit of security in da chaos. As long as dey be remainin' unorganized, we've been havin' little to fear.

If the Stonemother is truly rallyin' da earth against us, we be havin' a great deal more to be fearin'.

Completion

Dese are in surprisingly good condition - good work, mon.

Rewards

You will receive:

• 8 60
• 43900 XP
• 250 reputation with the Earthen Ring

Notes

Pick up Crumbling Defenses and On Even Ground before heading out. Don't focus on killing elementals. Focus on saving the shaman. Then go kill elementals once the three shaman are saved.

On complete:

Earthmender Norsala says: So it is certain, then. These elementals were bound from dormant stone only recently.

Earthmender Norsala says: Only an elemental lord could bind so many elementals so quickly. It seems we are at war with the Stonemother herself...

Earthmender Norsala says: May the elementals protect us.
