- Earth being a most durable element and therazane being a motherly, protective sort, I thought a tank role would suit her fine. The tank role often revolves around some combinations of initiation, disruption, damage absorption and peel. Since Therazane is the motherly type, I thought it would be best suited if she shielded those under her protection, while dealing slow, solid amounts of damage and stunning and rooting enemies as an earth elemental would.
- Had I considered Therazane earlier, she maybe would have been a better candidate for support considering her peaceful nature, but earth lends itself so well to the sturdy tank archetype and she probably wouldn't go around willfully healing fleshy mortals anyway. Then again, neither would Al'Akir, but Al'Akir seems to conduct himself honourably, so maybe he would out of necessity.
- I think one of the most useful skills for a tank is to get in close and body block opponents, so Therazane was given a summon with the aim to do just that.
- Considering Therazane essentially has two health bars, I didn't think she should be extremely tanky. However, since both her heroics revolve around getting her into the fight, she couldn't be too squishy either. I think maybe low starting health and high scaling health balances out her multiple health bars but inability to dodge, however I could be very wrong.
- Ozruk was originally Princess Theredras, which I think made more sense thematically, but her name was too similar to Therazane and seemed confusing. Ozruk was the closest more popular character which Therazane directly describes as a child I could find. Alternatively, Earth Elemental could summon a random Stone Lord instead.
- Therazanes "ability range" doesn't actually affect any of her abilities directly, but I'm too lazy to come up with another way to describe it.
- It actually seems a rather important thematic point that Therazane not have any abilities that would seem to agitate or destroy the earth, like Thralls Sundering or Sonya's Seismic Slam, since she appreciates the calm and resents anyone who upsets her domain.
