What to do
Description
Before you can help us here, you're going have to deal with Therazane, the Stone Mother's, forces to the south. The elementals and giants upon the Quaking Fields are being mustered. They too are after the middle fragment of the World Pillar. They'll attack us amidst our war with the stone troggs and we'll be unable to repel them. I've sent the arch geomancer ahead. Get to Slate Quicksand and do as he asks.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- To Stonehearth's Aid
The earthen and the stone troggs somehow found their way to Deepholm through Uldum more than fifteen thousand years ago. They've been warring ever since. If we're to recover the middle fragment of the World Pillar, the Stonefather must be rescued.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Axe of Earthly Sundering
The emerald colossi are the greatest of the Stone Mother's creatures. They must be the first to be removed from the field. I brought Stonefather Oremantle's axe for just this task. Use it to sunder the giants. That should bring them down to a more manageable size for you to finish off.
