Why thank you.

It is certainly implied and the player could be forgiven for simply assuming that it was the garleans who slew those elementals, but it is not explicitly stated as such. However, what we DO know is significant:
- These elementals are referred to as "great ones", meaning they are the kind that can simply "take" people like how we see happen to Swethyna's unit in a later Twin Adder quest. They aren't harmed easily, let alone killed.
- This is a turning point for Kan-E. The Seedseers don't consider themselves as needing to be in Gridania much, since they are better placed conversing with the Wood.
Kan-E has recognised that there is a great threat in the Wood, but in order to address it, she must engage against the Garlean problem.

Now do we believe that the Garleans are the great threat? If so, the Garleans killed the Great Ones. But I am not of that opinion. I believe that what killed them is the same thing that assulted Farimond's squad in Souls Gone Wild.

Ascians? Odin? Sigurd and Oona's operation? Yeah, we're waiting for that to be cleared up.



On an earlier topic, Moose, you used the term "primal's Voidsent essence."
This is a contradiction in terms, since Voidsent are from beyond the aether, but primals are amongst it.
I envisaged Bahamut's prison as one that starved him into a coma, but fed him just enough aether, possibly drawn from the Moon, to keep him from dissipating.
