Elementals

Since before time itself the essence of being itself differentiated itself into different modes represented by the elements of air, earth, fire, and water. Under the influence of the primal forces of positive and negative energy, various Elemental Intelligences arose. Primarily concerned with the act of creation and destruction according to their own modes of being, these elementals interacted with one another to create various constructs and with the Fey to create the dragons. For humans, the alienness of their intentions stems from the the relentless simplicity of their purely materialistic goals.
