And does the art of Conjury lose a lot of power once your character leaves the Shroud, or are they able to communicate with elementals from other areas too?
Well, there was close to 20 in-game NPC Hearers in 1.0, not including Padjal, and probably about that in 2.0. I'd have to go run around Gridania and do a census. (ie. Look for Conjurers wearing purple) But I do not see why being a Hearer would be considered Mary Sue. Sure, you hear the voice of divine beings, but that's kinda the whole point of being a Conjurer. The goal is to hear them. So I say go for it.
And no, Elementals are all over the world. In every rock, every stream, every tree. Lore suggests that these Elementals are just unable or unwilling to reveal themselves without the protection of the Hedge like Gridanian Elementals have. (Because despite their power, Elementals can be slain by conventional weapons.) So a Conjurer should be able to commune with Elementals outside of Gridania just as well.
