Remember you can use your ground mount in this cave!
This quest was for me the quest that resulted in 'Friendly' status with Therazane and the possibility to buy the Therazane tabbard from Therazane Quartermaster D'lom the Collector located at Therazane's Throne. He sells nice enchants and stuff once you improve yor reputation with them. In the same location you will find Therazane <The Stonemother> who gives you the quest Wayward Child (The Stonecore dungeon).

<The ground trembles slightly, and the low, familiar voice of Diamant speaks as if from the stone itself.> You've done as I've asked. Turn back and escape the cave in one piece. Don't forget the gemstone.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Depth of the Depths
<The ground trembles slightly, and the low, familiar voice of Diamant speaks as if from the stone itself.> Well done, <race>. Within the tunnels below, you will find the stone which you seek. Painite. The dangers ahead are many... Dangers that the Stone Lords themselves fear. Remain steady.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Entrenched
Your intentions appear true. I will impress upon the other Stone Lords my wary trust. With this, they should speak to you. More importantly, they should listen. Earning their favor may take time. Earning the Stonemother's favor may take more time. Time is a potent offering, so be generous with it.
