It may not be something we're aware of (or that anyone is aware of beyond possibly the Padjal). Â It may also have to do with Succor itself, where it comes from, and how it works. Â Remember, the Twelveswood was grown specifically to hide Amdapor away and ensure the knowledge of White Magic never again fell into the hands of mortals (since they'd so grossly abused it).
Quote:Also, maybe this is just the impression I'm getting, but are the elementals even remotely a force of good in the world? They're certainly something, but they only appear to have their own best interest at heart, and I'm kind of baffled that people treat them as something that needs to be appeased and obeyed rather than an overt threat like Primals.
Because Gridania has a symbiotic relationship with them. Â And because they're not evil so far as we can tell. Â The Elementals are the Shroud, and the Shroud is the Elementals. Â Destroying one would destroy the other. Â I do think it's a mistake to judge their actions and motivations from a human standpoint, though.
