Elementals and the Shroud

[Iscah]

One interesting thing about the aspect of having The Elementals around is that typical Gridanians use them as a way to shun outsiders and pick and choose from refugees, such as when the folks at Quarrymill shunned the male Ala Mhigan refugees, but accepted the females, "Because The Elementals willed it."

That's multiple unfounded assumptions together there.

What we know is that some refugees were accepted, some rejected, "according to the will of the elementals". The one accepted refugee we talk to is female. Meffrid's rejected group are all male as far as we see.

That does not mean there was a selection based on gender, and certainly doesn't mean the Gridanians are lying when they say that it's the will of the elementals.
