Elemental: Difference between revisions

Elementals are humanoids that are deeply connected to the Everwilds, especially the domain of Chaos. While many sublineages of elemental exist, the four most common are air, earth, fire, and water. Elementals are actually indigenous to the Everwilds. As the Tear opened in the skies above, and Ancerra came into contact with the other planes of existence for the first time in living memory, some elementals were curious about the newly rediscovered solar system and ventured forth to explore it.

Elementals can reliably trace their lineage back to the Ashyidir Archfae. There are ten Ashyidir Archfae, but the four who represent the fundamental elements are listed here. All of the ten Ashyidir can appear masculine, feminine, or androgynous, but their preferred state is listed.

'''Gaard.''' Masculine-presenting; Exemplar of Earth. Slow to action, tries to keep everyone (especially Aeshir) from making rash decisions.

Elementals have varying opinions on the Ashyidir. Some view them as patriarchal figures, much like many humanoids view their grandparents. Others venerate them as gods, and still others don’t have a strong opinion one way or the other provided that the Ashyidir leave the elementals alone to live their own lives.

'''Height:''' 5’0” - 6’4”

'''Size:''' Medium

'''Base Speed:''' 20 ft

'''Appearance:''' Elementals generally look like humans with inhuman-colored skin. Their digits, skin patterning, hair, and facial features reflect the element of their sublineage.
