    In the pre-kings history of Jewish society, God was the monarch and considered the supreme ruler. Offending God was considered life-threatening. God's law was administed by the priests of the clan of Levi. On occasion, when things got out of hand, God would send a judge to resolve a particular problem and restore order.

    Now:
    Replace "God" with "the elementals";
    Replace "priests" with "conjurers";
    Replace "the clan of Levi" with "padjali heritage"; and
    Replace "a judge" with "one beckoned by the Wood".

    Anyone care to nit-pick?
    I'll pick just a little. All priests came from the tribe of Levi. I think Padjal would be more comparable to the family line of Aaron, which is the line of the High Priests.

    ...Where do moogles fit in?

    Good call.

    I'm not sure where the moogles would fit in, I admit. It is, of course, an imperfect comparison.
