They could interfere as the representant of peace on the florest but that would be considered an individual action, and if the elementals wish said person to die, it will die unless you are an outsider.(02-11-2015, 01:52 PM)Warren Castille Wrote: Agreeing with Das Knee: Wailers and Quivers don't have to worry TOO too much given the Elementals' presence, but I imagine you don't want to run from someone billed a GOD'S BOW. Wailers seem to be focused more on vermin and fauna threats more than anything, but I'm a dusty city boy so I don't know better.
Have there been instances of the Elementals stepping in to backhand someone getting out of line, though? And you say they don't have to worry too much but... what laws the Elementals lay may not cover some of the things people might still do. From my understanding, it's about not harming the Twelveswood - and yet poachers still thrive without being struck down. And what about violence against one's fellow man - stealing their things or even murdering them doesn't directly harm the Twelveswood and thus I would assume the Elementals wouldn't intercede in that.
Not to mention that an angered Elemental might do more damage than a simple pickpocket, so they could be extra busy to ensure some slip-up doesn't end up with the Lavender Beds being flooded or something.
Gods and Wailers will only act in law enforcing if the case is sufficiently big, like the bandit factions in Quarrymill, for they disturb the peace of the florest. Individual cases, they might turn an eye or not, depends on your own luck, rules of nature, son.
