It is true that they own the Shroud and that Gridanians (or anyone else living in it) is a tenant. For that, it is perfectly reasonable for them to have rules and to frown upon people who break their stuff. What is not reasonable, however, is that their 'frown upon' is trying to murder people. This would be akin to the mountain lion trying to eat your neighbours for no reason at all or because it felt threatened by them. Your most likely course of action as a person would be to save the neighbour, not to stand idly and say "Well, he must have done something!" and let the lion eat him.
What we have to decide is if the Elementals are below humans, like the lion (in the sense that they have no rationality) or if they are above them, like gods. And then we have to wonder if they are good gods, because they certainly seem very fond on executing people without giving reasons more than "I'm threatened by him".
