Herad was very pleased with the earth elemental creatures as he watched them work diligently.
They might have looked clumsy, like punching bags born to take a beating.
But when it came to mining, they worked quickly and well.
They even volunteered the elementium ore they had collected.
Elementium ore was black and looked quite unremarkable.
Yet these unremarkable black stones might well have been the hardest metal in Azeroth.
In the game, crafting the Sulfuron Hammer and Thunderfury both required elementium ore.
Throughout the entire level-sixty era, elementium ore had been a treasure beyond question!
Reality had none of those convoluted level mechanics.
That made elementium ore even more priceless!
However, Deathwing had died in Outland.
And he had never come to Deepholm to forge the Elementium Armor, even before his death.
The outside world knew nothing of elementium ore's existence.
As for the earth elemental creatures here...
They collected elementium ore only to throw it at others.
Earth elemental creatures occasionally fought among themselves.
These fellows were not strong fighters, but their defenses were formidable.
They were the low-attack, high-defense type.
Watching them felt like watching two weaklings flail at each other.
The sort who could fight for ages without either winning.
But if they struck their opponents with elementium ore, the damage was considerable!
The incredibly hard elementium ore had outstanding armor penetration!
One hard blow punched a hole.
That was how an advantage built up.
But there was no deep hatred between them.
They simply fought for fun when they had nothing to do.
Elemental creatures would not die no matter how they fought, anyway.
Wasn't it better to hand over these black stones in exchange for their lord's praise?
Since the earth elemental creatures were so obliging, Herad certainly would not treat them poorly.
