Elementals and the Shroud

[Iscah]

...and then the guy goes on to be one of the Griffin's helpers and convince a whole lot of people to join a cause that would lead them to their deaths.

I don't know if the elementals can sense the future, but things have unexpected consequences.

I'm out of posts for the day so I'm going to do that annoying sequence-breaking thing of replying to a post made after this one.

I'm saying the elementals aren't human and may not have human sympathy, just a sense of the larger scale, but maybe if they can sense the future then they judge him on that sense that "this man will do terrible things and we don't want him here".

It's hard to know how it works exactly, but it's one possible explanation why they'd do it. I'm not saying I agree with that decision.
