I know they exist, but it seems the elementals are very deliberately restricting their authority to within the Shroud's borders. Why else would one be unable to attract woodwrath outside the Shroud? Or avoid its consequences by leaving it?
Hmm, not sure. I know that the Twelveswood Elementals do have some control over the world outside. I'll reference the 1.0 CNJ class quests again. The Wildling Conjurer Morys attempts to leave the Twelveswood to go and search for something in an Ishgardian hamlet called Owl's Nest. But the Elementals make him go poof right in front of your eyes. You later find him curled up unconscious beneath Amber Scale Rock.
As for why the Elementals seem to be powerless outside the Shroud, my only hypothesis would be because they are revered in the Twelveswood. Despite the Elementals being ageless, they can be killed. There is a cutscene where Kan-E-Senna sends off three dead Elementals who were slain by Garleans. And this was within the Shroud! I guess Elementals are too afraid to appear in lands like Thanalan where they may be killed for profit? Makes me think of 1.0 LNC quest where some Ul'dahn merchant/mercenaries try to kidnap a moogle and bring it back to Ul'dah. Hehe naturally this envokes Greenwrath against them and you have to save their hides...
I think it's safe to say that there are issues in Thanalan that would prevent the Elementals being active there, even if you leave out the mercenary side of things. Â Specifically, the place gets a lot of rain. Â But is still a desert. Â Now, it might just be SE being retarded, but it might also be a strong indication that there's something seriously off in Thanalan. Â It may also be that the Elementals there are so weak at this point that they can't interact at all.
