“Day 48, a seemingly irrelevant day at first glance, but today we talk about an incredible race, The Elemental.”
“Elemental; [El-uh-men-tl]”
“There are many elemental infused creatures in Estea, there are species here that are confused as being Elementals, but exactly is an Elemental? Well, Elementals are creatures that are completely made of magic, focusing on one specific type which determines their physical traits and abilities. Effectively immortal, they are often described as purely animated energy and magic, not requiring food, sleep, or air to survive. Moreover, Elementals are incredible spellcasters and often called upon by others for help. Mythical beings in their own right, Elementals have existed in the Ancient Era, living amongst and even before True Dragons. Moreover, Elementals have played an incredible role in cultural and historical advancements in Estea, Heaven, and Hell. These Elementals are believed to have assisted in shaping the world around us, created by the gods to do so. Elementals have a knack of reflecting the world as well, with a variable physical appearance.”

“Earth; [Urth]”
“The first variant we’ll discuss, the embodiment of Terra Magic, the Earth Elemental. Earth Elementals are found in grand mountain ranges, deep canyons, and serene cave systems. Earth Elementals have an average height ranging from 6 feet or 1.83 meters to 60 feet or 18.29 meters. Physically, these Elementals prefer to take a less Humanoid shape, however whether taking a Humanoid appearance or not, Earth Elementals are known for their large, club-like limbs and jagged stone body .Occasionally chunks of minerals, gems, or metals were set within their stony bodies. Earth Elementals are capable of traversing through stone and dirt as if it were liquid. Moreover, these Elementals have a keen tremorsense, an ability of pinpointing the location of a creature nearby through contact of the ground alone. Although being experienced casters of Terra Magic, Earth Elementals prefer the use of brute force in combat. Socially, Earth Elementals are loners, with only a few being seen near Metal Elementals. Personality wise, Earth Elementals aren’t especially intelligent, but they are rather calm and well collected folk to be around. They have a good relationship with Dwarves, Stone Colossi, and Metal Elementals with a dislike for Water and Air Elementals.”

“Fire; [Fahy-uhr]”
“The most popularized Elemental, the Fire Elemental is the embodiment of Inferna Magic. These Elementals are found inside volcanic areas or even the volcanos themselves and the ever burning Fire biome. Fire Elementals have an average height ranging from 5 feet or 1.52 meters to 55 feet or 16.76 meters. Physically these Elementals prefer to take a more Humanoid appearance, typically tall in build. Moreover, Humanoid Fire Elementals are often adorned with molten armor. Fire Elementals as a whole are remarkably fast and agile, capable of moving as a tail of flame, levitation, or flight. Additionally, Fire Elementals have the grand ability of absorbing surrounding fires around them to strengthen them exponentially for a limited time. Although Fire Elementals are very capable in physical combat, able to fight ferociously and burn objects at their touch, a majority prefer to use their mastery of Inferna Magic for complex spellcasting. Interestingly, these Elementals have complete control over their flames, able to render them harmless, similar to Campfire Blitzens, or intensify them to white hot fires. It is a common idea that Fire Elementals are the strongest of the species. Socially, Fire Elementals are typically found alone, although not rare to see them in pairs. Personality wise, these Elementals are remarkably cunning, playful, and emotional. With an enjoyment for burning things. Fire Elementals enjoy the presence of Humans, but dislike Water and Air Elementals and Frostkin.”

“Water; [Waw-ter]”
“Similarly popular to Fire Elementals, Water Elementals are the embodiment of Aquanna Magic and are historically rivals to Fire Elementals. Water Elementals are found in a variety of locations, from lakes and springs, to oceans and locations of spiritual importance; it is regarded as the most common Elemental to be found. These Elementals have an average height ranging from 5 feet or 1.52 meters to 50 feet or 15.24 meters. Physically resembling cresting waves of water, the preference of taking a Humanoid form is more equal than in other Elementals. Due to being water, these Elementals can effortlessly fit through small gaps or even create one by pressuring their body. Additionally, they are immune to acid, prieceing, and bludgeoning attacks. Moreover, they possess the unique ability to become completely invisible when submerged in water. Water elementals preferred to fight in bodies of water, ruthless in physical combat. They were even capable of capsizing small boats. If fighting an individual, they would attempt to drown them using powerful Aquanna spells. Similar to Fire Elementals, Water Elementals also have the ability to absorb nearby water for an additional boost in strength, however this is limited more. Socially, Water Elementals are solitary creatures, with it rare to see multiple in an area. Personality wise, these Elementals are more coy and sarcastic in their demeanor. They love the presence of all sea based creatures, including Nymphs, with a dislike for Humans and a hatred for Fire Elementals.”

“Air; [Air]”
“The last of the four major Elementals, Air Elementals embody Galern Magic. These Elementals are often found on mountaintops, the Air biome, and simply float through the sky. Air Elementals have an average height ranging from 4 feet or 1.22 meter to 40 feet or 12.19 meters. Physically these Elementals prefer to take an amorphous, ever-changing appearance, either resembling a collection of clouds or a tornado. Air Elementals are known for their ability to shift into whirlwinds, with its size affecting the overall intensity. In combat, these Elementals preferred using strong gusts of wind and a variety of other ranged Galern attacks. Socially isolated, Air Elementals are rarely seen in general, let alone in groups. Individuals are said to be light hearted, kind, and easy going. Unlike other Elementals, Air Elementals were recorded in history to have helped a variety of Ave civilizations. Air Elementals enjoy Aves, Stormkin, and Lightning Elementals.”

“Lightning; [Lahyt-ning
“Regarded as one of the more imposing Elementals, Lightning Elementals embody Cyclone Magic. Rarely found roaming about, Lightning Elementals are only found residing in the Air and Electric biomes of Estea. Lightning Elementals have an average height ranging from 6 feet or 1.83 meters to 50 feet or 15.24 meters. Physically a majority of these Elementals prefer to take an amorphous, semi-Humanoid appearance. It is advised to never relate one to a Stormkin, I hear it's not only offensive, but it brings up the chance of being struck by lightning. Nonetheless, Lightning Elementals are incredibly fast, capable of dispersing into a trial of sparks, similar to Fire Elementals. Lightning Elementals prefer to use a combination of quick flurries of attacks and ranged Cyclone Magic when in combat. If merciful they would simply shock or paralyze their targets from their touch. Socially loners, Lightning Elementals have a renowned hateful and spiteful attitude towards most anything. These Elementals only enjoy the presence of Stormkin and Metal Elementals.”

“Metal; [Met-l]”
“A fairly unique Elemental, the Metal Elemental is remarkably recent in creation, these Elementals house a combination of magic types, both Terra and Cyclone Magic. Metal Elementals have an average height ranging from 3 feet or 0.91 meters to 30 feet or 9.14 meters, they are the smallest of the Elementals. Physically they can appear as primitive robots or whirlwinds of scrap metal, with neither being more common than the other. Metal Elementals are by far the weakest of the species, only possessing a fraction of Earth and Lightning Elementals’ capabilities. In some cases, some Automatrons are stronger than the average Metal Elemental. A unique capability of Metal Elementals is their manipulation of nearby metal for a process of absorption, similar to Fire and Water Elementals, however the process of boosting their strength is not only weaker, but permanent. In combat they would resort to physical attacks, manipulating their bodies to shred their targets in a metallic tornado. Socially, Metal Elementals are rarely seen alone, either in small groups or occupied by a Lightning or Earth Elemental. Individuals are remarkably shy, reserved, naive. Although not special in their abilities, this Elemental is incredibly special as it can hone in on the origin of Elementals as a whole. Metal Elementals were not seen until the Mechanical Revolution Era, with incredibly small activity seen during the first Industrial Revolution, this brings us to believe that the existence of specific materials and important elements to Estea will act as the drive for the formation for new Elementals. Metal Elementals’ ability of permanent absorption leads many to believe that Elementals originate as tiny collections of living energy towards said element, with its first stage of life being the absorption of their element to gain a stable form. Once a stable form is made, the Elemental will lose its ability of permanent absorption. The major advancement in metal with the introduction of Automatron created an unstable gap for the Elemental, as it had to catch up with the existing strength of the element in Estea. The current theory is that Metal Elementals weren’t naturally created, that some external force or party willed them into existence. Such a feat would have definitely angered the gods, especially Rachnera herself. Interesting stuff really.

“Dark; [Dahrk]”
“The final major variant of Elemental, the mysterious Dark Elemental. Contrary to popular belief, these Elementals do not embody Abyssal Magic, rather something much worse. It’s existence and discovery led to the discovery of Corruption Magic, a powerful ancient magic lost to time. This Corruption Magic is what Dark Elementals embody, with even the gods above unknown to their exact origin. Dark Elementals are only found in their respective biome, equally mysterious, the Corrupted biome. Dark Elementals have a loose recorded height, being anywhere from 6 feet or 1.83 meters to 40 feet or 12.19 meters. Physically all Dark Elementals seem to take a Humanoid appearance, bearing large hands and spiked arms. Interestingly, Dark Elementals also have three eyes, which by itself isn’t much, but the fact that all Dark Elementals have three eyes makes this interesting. They are frighteningly well versed in combat, capable of both deadly physical attacks and deadly mind altering spells. These spells are unknown and can only be guessed to belong to the Corruption Magic type. Socially these Elementals live alone, foraging through their territory for intruders. Despite the incredible danger of the unknown, encounters document individual Dark Elementals as kind, cheery, excitable, and playful; while being a little creepy and unsettling. Moreover, these Elementals haven’t made any advances outside of their biome and territory, however more research is desperately needed before we can accurately classify this Elemental as dangerous or not. Dark Elementals seem to enjoy observing Humans, Piktra, Kobolds, and Goblins.”

“The varieties of Elementals are immense, with multiple combinations of magic types existing alongside these discussed Elementals. Overall many still need to be researched, as so many hold secrets hidden from Estea, possibly capable of altering history as we know it. Such an advance in knowledge is quite the risky endeavor, as a majority of Elementals aren’t active creatures, with the majority only encountering individuals. Nonetheless these Elementals are all deserving of their legendary stature, as they are both incredibly powerful and knowledgeable, holding intellect on topics not known to the Living Library itself. Incredibly cool, Elementals are my second favorite creature in Estea, both to encounter and to research. If you haven’t guessed already, my top favorite is the True Dragons and my third is the Draconic.”
