The elementals probably don't care about duskwights - the game goes of of its way to main the point that the redbellies have a lot of very capable conjurers, and like you said they've lasted this long without being greenwrath'd.
The connection is people in Gridania saying that the elementals have a problem with them. This comes up in some levequests (there's definitely a mining one (infuritatingly enough, not one that's on my list right now) that can be summed up as 'so the Duskwights are trying to make Gelmorra livable again so the redbellies can live without being criminals? Suddenly the elementals hate the ruins of Gelmorra and we need to smash them up!') and in NPC dialogue, I'll try to find/screencap.
Yes, I remember that quest. Â I found it really strange because those ruins are all over the shroud and that is the only place where someone was like, "Oh, the Elementals say we can't have this, because it's bad."
Quote:The short version is that it's less 'the elementals have a problem with duskwights' and more 'gridanians say the elementals have a problem with duskwights as an excuse to make thier lives difficult'.
That was my take on the subject, too. Â And, it should be pointed out, I am not entirely sure that everyone in Gridania agrees with that mindset, but those who do make up the more powerful families. Â I get the impression from several of the profession quests that the prejudice is ingrained in many, but not in all.
Quote:(I've also heard a lot of people talk about how the Gridanians aren't xenophobic at all and that their dislike of the duskwights is entirely elemental-related, but I'm not sure where they got that from ingame and I suspect that it's not the case.)
Yeah, I have no idea where people came up with the idea that Gridanians aren't xenophobic. Â It's hammered home in quest after quest that they absolutely are.
