Elemental Calamities

[Anonymoose]

I don't know that we can do much but speculate - I can't recall anything that even resembles a hint of the not-darksteelfoil-hat variety.

One of my favorite "Hey, maybe!" ramblings was that the mythology Seven Heavens and Seven Hells were somehow linked into the fourteen dimensions and that the imbalance of Light and Dark's power and/or the general nature of the Ascian plan rocked the boat in an astral-clockwise rotation around the wheel ... but I have nothing to back that up; no reason to even suggest it, lol.

For what it's worth, Bahamut was allegedly all elements at once, all tilted towards Astral. (Encyclopædia Eorzea)

Oha-Sok is messy. I have no idea what was up with that Elemental, though I had another fringe theory that Oha spoke from the point of view of the aether itself; she spoke of how "we" were bound to do the bidding of the cities of the War of the Magi, and were thrown into a state of irresistible wrath that compelled all elementals to "keen" with her. That sounded a lot to me like how aether itself was over-utilized and careened out of balance until a Calamity struck, but it could just be a coincidence. (But then, does that mean that the literal elementals were enslaved in the War of the Magi? Wonder why we never heard about that again.)
