I'm currently trying to update the elemental spirit pages in wowpedia and i feel i need some help, not so much in the writing part but in the fact-source checking kinda of help, and much because of the RPG info being non-canon.

Elemental Spirits
Spirit of Earth

Quote:

The Spirit of Earth is the spirit of everything encompassing the land — a shaman may speak to it when in need of help.
Outland Spirit

The Spirit of Earth of the Outlands first communicated with Nobundo after the orcs abandoned Shamanism in favour of practicing with fel magic. Sensing in Nobundo a kindred spirit due to the feeling of neglect and abuse, due to the cataclysm of Draenor, it together with the other three elemental spirits of outlands, taught Nobundo the path of the shaman and helped him spread it to the remnants of the Draenei society.
Earth voice is low and persistent. This spirit lent his strength to Nobundo, when he was exhausted, and gave him resolve, a steel will, and unshakable determination after years of training.

Spirit of Air or Wind

Quote:

The Spirit of Air or Wind is the spirit of everything encompassing the wind, each world having it's own - a shaman may speak to it when in need of help.
Outland Spirit

The Spirit of Wind of the Outlands first communicated with Nobundo after the orcs abandoned Shamanism in favour of practicing with fel magic. Sensing in Nobundo a kindred spirit due to the feeling of neglect and abuse, due to the cataclysm of Draenor, saved him from committing suicide with a gust of air, reassuring him that he was not alone and giving him promises of the future.
It, together with the other three elemental spirits of outlands, taught Nobundo the path of the shaman and helped him spread it to the remnants of the Draenei society.
This spirit is supportive and often pushes Nobundo forwards with gusts of wind. It's voice sometime was calm and placating; at others it was insistent and forceful. It taught him courage and persistence and how to dig deep within and press on in the face of adversity.
Quote

Everything that is… is alive. - Outland Spirit of Wind to Nobundo.

Spirit of Fire

Quote:

The Spirit of Fire is the spirit of everything encompassing the fire elements — a shaman may speak to it when in need of help.
Outland Spirit

The Spirit of Fire of the Outlands first communicated with Nobundo after the orcs abandoned Shamanism in favour of practicing with fel magic. Sensing in Nobundo a kindred spirit due to the feeling of neglect and abuse, due to the cataclym of Draenor, it together with the other three elemental spirits of outlands, taught Nobundo the path of the shaman and helped him spread it to the remnants of the Draenei society.
It appeared before Nobundo as great column of fire, flames spread out and in a flickering dance with shifting, nebulous features.
This spirit is aggressive and intimidating, and doesn't like when Nobundo questions the what it demanded to do. It's voice sometimes sounds like a great and powerful storm and at other a occasional rumbling. Fire was the spirit most affected by Nobundo conflicts.It gave Nobundo passion, a renewed appreciation for life, and the desire to overcome any obstacle.
Quotes

Spirit of Fire: Go to the mountains of Nagrand. High among the peaks you will find a place… where your true journey will begin.
Nobundo:“To go there, I will have to pass through the camps of the unaffected, where my kind is forbidden.”
Spirit of Fire: Do not question the opportunity you are being given! Walk with your head held high, for you are no longer alone.
Spirit of Fire confronting Nobundo.

Spirit of Water

Quote:

The Spirit of Water is the spirit of everything encompassing the different forms of water — a shaman may speak to it when in need of help.
Outland Spirit

The Spirit of Water of the Outlands first communicated with Nobundo after the orcs abandoned Shamanism in favour of practicing with fel magic. Sensing in Nobundo a kindred spirit due to the feeling of neglect and abuse, due to the cataclysm of Draenor. The Water Spirit was also the one that adapted the fastest to the cataclysm. It, together with the other three elemental spirits of outlands, taught Nobundo the path of the shaman and helped him spread it to the remnants of the Draenei society.
This spirit was the calmest of the spirits, only introducing itself when Nobundo couldn't listen to the other spirits trying to talk at the same time, due to missing the discussions with the Shaman. The Water Spirit was the one that took the role of instructing Nobundo into shamanism in general
It's voice is at once clear and soothing, strong and robust, and all of the elements, water is the most light-hearted. Water gave Nobundo clarity and patience, unclouding his thoughts of the burdens of being a Broken.
Quote

Spirit of Water:You must forgive them: it has been too long since they have felt the tempering influence of the shaman. They are angry, confused, still reeling from the blow dealt to them.
Nobundo:“The cataclysm,”
Spirit of Water:Yes. I was perhaps the least affected, but it has always been this way. It is a necessity that I adapt quickly, given that I provide the very foundations of life.
Nobundo:“Water.”
- The Spirit of Water introducing itself to Nobundo.
Spirit of Water:Welcome. Here in this quiet refuge the elements coexist in relative peace, and so our discourse with you will be easier, especially in the early stages of your journey, before you have learned to feel our intentions without thinking. True knowledge and understanding will take years, but if you stay the course, in time we will be yours to call upon… but never to command. Yet if you respect us, and your motives remain unselfish, we will never abandon you.
Nobundo:“Why have you chosen me?”
Spirit of Water:The cataclysm cast us all into turmoil and uncertainty. For a time we were lost. In you we sensed a kindred spirit: confused, neglected. It took time for us to recover sufficiently to reach out once again, but when we did, we hoped you would be… receptive.
Nobundo:“Will I be able to use these abilities to help my people?”
Spirit of Water:Yes. The relationship between the elements and the shaman is one of synchronicity. The shaman’s influence helps to calm and unite us, just as our influence enriches and fulfills the shaman. When you have completed your training, you will be able to call upon the elements in times of need. If the elements deem your cause just, we will assist you in any way possible.
- The Spirit of Water explaining why Nobundo was chosen to be a Shaman.
Spirit of Water:We sense that you are still… conflicted.
Nobundo:“Yes, I am haunted by the spirits of those who passed at Shattrath. Can the elements assist in this?”
Spirit of Water:The conflict rests not with the spirits of the departed, but within you. It is a conflict you alone must resolve.
Nobundo:“Will this inner struggle prevent me from realizing my true potential as a shaman?”
Spirit of Water:Your conflict is reflected in the sky above, in the ground beneath you, in me, and especially in Fire. It is a reflection of nature’s eternal struggle to achieve and maintain balance.
Nobundo:“No matter how far my journey takes me, I suppose true understanding lies in the knowledge that the journey will never end.”
Spirit of Water:Good… very good. The time has come for you to take your next step, one that may prove to be the most important of all.
Nobundo:“I am ready.”
Spirit of Water:Close your eyes.
- Nobundo discussing his conflict with the Spirit of Water.
