Maruut Stonebinder

Maruut Stonebinder can be found leading the Earthen Ring forces holding the Temple of Earth in Deepholm. Before the Shattering, he appeared in Thunder Bluff during the Elemental Unrest.

World of Warcraft: Cataclysm
Maruut Stonebinder serves as head of the Earthen Ring forces occupying Deepholm. He enlists the aid of adventurers in reforming the World Pillar. He himself cannot go as he must remain near the rift in order to stabilize it. Eventually, through many trials and tribulations and aid from Therazane, the pieces of the World Pillar are retrieved. However, sensing that the World Pillar will soon be reassembled, the remnants of the Twilight Hammer stage an all out assault on the Earthen Ring. Once more, Maruut calls on the adventurers to defend them as he and his fellow shamans work to rebind the Pillar. The defensive lines hold, but where the foot soldiers could not go, High Priestess Lorthuna is able, entering the main chamber and assaulting the participants of the ritual. Knowing that may very well not get another chance, Maruut and the others do not stop the ritual even as they are attacked, and it falls on the adventurers to enter combat with Lorthuna alone.

Luckily, Therazane and her Stone Lords come to their aid, and help repel the attack. The Twilight Hammer and Lorthuna are both defeated, and the Earthen Ring manages to complete the ritual. Although the pillar is reformed, it comes at the sacrifice of Maruut himself, his lifeless body being found in the aftermath. Earthcaller Torunscar comments that Maruut would be proud of this moment and of his death, as he had once said that he would gladly give his life to see their task done.
