Elemental Calamities

[Rocl]

Do we have any evidence of a Calamity having occurred someplace other than Eorzea? They always seem to begin here, but that's probably not why Val wasn't a Calamity, it more likely has to do with the fact Val disappearing didn't affect the world. at large

When Bahamut rampaged, sure, he mostly caused physical damage to Eorzea, but it's been mentioned that linkshell communication was cut off for a while due to the aether disruptions caused by him.

Oha-Sok is ... well ridiculous now, lol. She made it seem like the Elementals were singularly responsible for causing the Flood, but I find that highly unlikely. Though one of Oha-Sok's lines echoes oddly with what we know today:

In joining light and shadow, ever do I ensure their eternal separation.

; could it be the Elementals themselves were manipulated by Ascians!? Rather, that is, than Oha-Sok and the Elementals being the deliverers of the Sixth Umbral Era, they too were twisted to weaken the barriers between worlds.

If the Shards were truly elementally aligned I feel like we might've heard something about it by now from our First and Thirteenth or Ascian expositionary buddies; I'd just wager that we know more about the various dimensions and causing of "Calamities" now that previous knowledge is revealed to be naught but superstition. Dalamud charging Syrcus Tower and having it jam itself in the ground and cause massive earthquakes? Earth Calamity! Floodwater and rising sea levels? Water Calamity! etc. These designations could've simply come about from Lewphon or any other "modern day" historian making a decision on what to call them, nevermind if it's right or not.
