Elementals are powerful beings made of an element. This can range from natural elements like Fire, Water, Metal, Earth, Swamps, and Coral, to more artificial elements like Masks, Glass, Plastic, and String, to even concepts and ideas like Law and Justice. They are entirely different from Daemons though.
They are known to protect Gnoll tribes and have deep ties to [Shamanic] magic.
Physiology[edit | edit source]
Physical Qualities[edit | edit source]
Elementals have a body and an anchor. The body is the vessel it uses to interact with the world. The anchor is the part that connects it to what it is.
Elementals of Law have bodies made of immutable materials, like metal.[1]
Meanwhile, Elementals of Water are made from ever-changing and liquid materials like Water & Tea.
Weakness[edit | edit source]
Destroying the anchor does not kill the Elemental, but it does sever them from their vessel.
Elementals can also be killed, though whether this is permanent or just causes them to change in some undefinable way is unclear.
Magical Qualities[edit | edit source]
Elementals are not just the elements they're made of, but ideas & concepts, such as a location that is so old and powerful that it develops a personality or a nation or law so entrenched that its very idea starts to think. They must be summoned by binding their essence into a physical body. When the body and anchor have been prepared, the Elemental is invited inside with offerings. A vessel and invitation that honors the spirit is preferable, but not obligatory is the Elemental is desperate to be summoned.[2]
Lesser Elementals[edit | edit source]
There are Elementals which can be made with Skills or spells. But they have no soul or consciousness, and do not persist for very long. Some are capable of basic cognitive skills like the Fire Guardian of Albez
History[edit | edit source]
Tales of Elementals say they started small and grew without limit over time.
In the Waning World, Elementals are faded from the world. However, they are not entirely gone.
