In Order to get this quest, you have to finish all the previous world pillar quests. The ones you could easily skip by accident are:

Block the Gates - from Seer Galekk

the followup is:

Abyssion's Minions - from Stormcaller Mylra

and the last one in this chain is:

The World Pillar Fragment - from Stormcaller Mylra

So check out, if you have done all 3 quests, if you are not able to accept The Very Earth Beneath Our Feet

StorylineDeepholm, The Stone Throne, step 1 of 44
Rewards1g 37s 40c, 600 XP

Description

Only one piece of the World Pillar remains, and it is in the hands of the Stonemother herself. Worse, the temple has come under siege by elementals and giants. It's not a terrible leap of logic to assume they're acting by her will. Go out and meet the elementals in battle to the northwest. Work with Torunscar and Norsala to find a way to communicate with their leaders and seek out the World Pillar. We would prefer such be done peacefully, but we will do whatever we must to seal the rift.

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.
