If you keep an eye out, there's some seriously interesting lore implications that allgivenover has laid out.Amdapor was naaaaaaughty. They were also evidently able to conjure static magical traps, invoke powers of Succor far beyond anything the WoL can do (Ancient Holy), and even create light and darkness aspected sprites.
Of course, the padjal feel that these were all defensive measures, but express consternation and confusion that the elementals were so put off by them. They surmise it was because the entities couldn't discern friend from foe due to age -- but I wonder if, perhaps, at the height of Amdapor's power, they felt anyone not with them was against them. The elementals and the padjal would've fallen into that category.
"Life" and "light," as it turns out, can be turned to darker ends. It's an interesting reflection on where the MSQ appears to be heading.
I think that, all things considered, it's probably that the Amdapori got so full of themselves that they were incredibly hostile towards anyone who even suggested that they might be doing things they shouldn't. Which would include the Elementals (though not the Padjal, as the latter didn't exist at the time).
