Thread: Difference between Elementals and Sprites (1.0 to 2.0)

The elementals have a much weaker presence since the calamity in the black shroud so I think to fit this in they made it so there are no elemental mobs to fit in with the more.
The sprits are probably more of a mutation caused by imbalance in crystals.

The elementals are the guardians of the Shroud they dictate what game is ok to hunt what trees may be cut down what palaces people are and not allowed to be and the biggest thing that why lots of people outside of Gridania don't like or care for them is who is and isn't permitted to live in the Shroud this has caused problems for people from Almahigo who fled hopping to find safety only to be turned away and they receive no aid despite every thing they went thru. there are even a few npcs at the conjure guild who want one of them to help heal a sick girl only to be told it is the elementals will that they don't.

This is how much power they hold in the Shroud and to anger them is to cause big problems.
