Ixal?) angering the Elementals means they would be targets of the Woodwrath and, therefore, they would be attacked by every living animal in the Shroud. Since they have at least one camp in the Shroud (we can argue there's more off-screen) and we never see them being attacked by the local wildlife, this is unlikely.
I think the most likely reason for the Ixal to have become hostiles towards Gridania has to do with Garuda, who is stated to be among the most hostile of the Primals. Perhaps she managed to temper a great number of them (just like Ifrit did with the Amalj'aa).
There's a statement that the Ixal make during the level 15 questline where they're trying to take out Everschade. Â The problem is, I can't remember the exact wording. Â What I remember of it is that they were expressing hatred of the Elementals themselves (blaming them for being exiled, etc), and the Gridanians for supplanting them in the Twelveswood. Â I'd need to go watch the cutscene again to be sure.
