Related to The World's Heart Expansion Concept.
Shaman Class Campaign.
Class Hall - Ra's Forge
A sub-plane connecting Ulduar with the Elemental Plane. This is where Ra forged the Elemental Planes themselves to house the elementals. Shaman use this region as a nexus to access all the Elemental Planes with ease.
The shamans feel the elements quail in fear as the darkness grows within the heart of the world. Summoned to Ra's Forge, the shaman find that Deepholm, the realm of earth, has become infested with the crawling contagion of the Old Gods, the Curse of Flesh. The rock and stone of Deepholm turn to putrid flesh and gardens of cancer, twisting the native earth elementals into slaves of the Old Gods and their Void Lord masters. The three elemental lords of Fire, Air, and Water are preparing to assault Deepholm and purge it entirely, destroying the element of earth and threatening the balance of creation.
The shaman decree that Deepholm must be saved to preserve the world itself, and decide that their artifact weapons must be further empowered to enable them to purge the Curse of Flesh. Determining that the Curse itself infuses Void-energy into elemental energy to create tainted flesh, the shaman decide to counter the curse with infusions of stronger elemental power.

After battling the corrupted earthqueen Therazane, the shaman are able to purge Anthrothraxx from Deepholm, curing it of the Curse of Flesh and restoring Therazane. With the elements restored to balance, the shaman are prepared to wield their unified might against the darkness growing within the world.
