The four rulers of fire, earth, air and water, once servants of the Old Gods.
Ragnaros of fire, Therazane of earth, Al'Akir of air and Neptulon of water led the elementals in the Old Gods’ war against the titans’ servants. When the Black Empire fell, the keepers bound them in the Elemental Plane. Shamans seek to keep the elements in balance, while the Dark Iron sorcerer Thaurissan’s blunder brought Ragnaros back into the world beneath Blackrock Mountain.
