The Elementals are one of the most ancient and strange creatures who inhabit. They are known for being physical manifestation of the elements.

History
The elementals are possibly one of the most ancient beings in Koldenwelt perhaps only younger than the and maybe the most ancient in the mainland, possible as old as most of the oldest Colossi, existing well before The Darkness manifestated physically into the mortal realm. They were born from the Source itself, as a physical manifestation of the elements.

It is believed that the elementals were one of the first pseudo-sentient beings, as nobody have proved their intelligence by now, to inhabit the main continent of. At that time they were much more numerous, being hundred of thousands, perhaps millions of groups, wandering around the mainland. When Caligaduro Provectus arrived, most of the elementals vanquish, because they need equilibrium to survive, leaving just some thousands of elementals who lives until now.

Anatomy
The elemental's anatomy is very different from all the others living beings in Koldenwelt. Instead of flesh they are made from the elements which represents, so the Earth elemental could be made of stone, minerals or dust while the air elemental is made of any gaseous substance that exists naturally in Koldenwelt atmosphere. Their height change depending on the elemental's power, a weak fire elemental is not larger than the flame of a candle, while the most powerful are as huge as a forest on fire.

They are genderless, and the only intelligent elemental alive, the  servant, is considered psychologically a male. Their reproduction is unknown, and it is possible that they can't reproduce.

Behavior
The Elementals' psychology change a lot between the different varieties. Most of them, however has something in common, they work in an eternal cycle of life, death and rebirth, they kept the cycle working and ensure the balance of the nature. It seems that they don't know nothing about why they do their activities, it is possible that they work instinctively.

Society
The Elementals has not society, but a kind of group following a leader, who is the most powerful Elemental in such group. It is theorized that the Elementals in a group are interconnected in a sort of hive mind, and, if that is true, it is possible that they are interconnected between groups, creating something like a huge living being. Anyway, these are just myths and legends, nobody has studied the Elementals psychology well enough to make a real theory.
