HEADING: Elementals
SUBHEADING: Plasmoid (& Phurble)

This is probably more of a "times, they are a-changin'" thing, but I figured I'd leave it here for the sake of completeness. Back in the day, plasmoids were defined as voidsent. Likewise, I've never seen a phurble called an Elemental before, so that's interesting. Perhaps scholars just know better these days.

EDIT: And Dullahans are soulkin here, whereas the minion said they were "in fact" voidsent. Is this the doing of the Trappers' League or the meddling Sharlayans? /fistshake

I'd like to request to the devs that they hand-wave this under "it's not a bug, it's a feature!". Real academics slap-fight all the time over where to classify a species according to a taxonomy that is in itself is under constant debate so it'd actually seem more realistic to me if creatures like phurbles and spriggans just kept changing classification.

I'm assuming that, as well. Same with gnats, which were entirely vilekin in 1.0 but clearly intended-voidsent now.

Hey, even Raimdelle himself tried unsuccessfully to convince his contemporaries to classify ducks as spoken.

(Probably for the best.)

"... These troubadours not only appear have understood Amon's commands ..."

"... These troubadours not only appear to have understood Amon's commands ..."

Might just be archaic speech patterns, but I did a double take since they're lacking in the rest of the paragraph.
