The Deep Elem Mine is a mine in the middle of Silverpine Forest.[56, 46]
History
World of Warcraft
Arugal let his magic spread to the Deep Elem Mine.[1] Led by the cunning Grimson the Pale, the former foreman of the mine,[1] the worgen made the mine their home.
Dalar Dawnweaver sent heroes to behead Grimson the Pale so the Forsaken could claim the mine as a resource of the Forsaken in name of the Varimathras.[1]
Cataclysm
It appears that Gilneas Liberation Front have taken over the mine. Master Forteski, known as the Horseman, now stands outside on command of Sylvanas with a contingent of her most powerful Veteran Forsaken Troopers,[2] believing she has the leaders of Gilneas Liberation Front cornered. However, it turns out to be a trap set by Ivar Bloodfang; the mine is in fact empty and about to explode. The Forsaken troops are blown to pieces as the mine explodes,[3] with only one messenger to survive and report back.
Battle for Azeroth
The Alliance sought to use Deep Elem Mine as a resource in their war against the Horde, and sent forces to bomb away the rubble blocking the entrance.[4] The Horde moved to get rid of the explosives so they could continue mining there themselves.[5]
Trivia
- The mine's name was likely inspired by the Grateful Dead song "Deep Elem Blues."
