I've done the quest where the Ala Mhingian couldn't be healed by the local conjuror due to the Elementals telling her 'no', and that gave me a thought. Â Could a wanted criminal hide out in the Shroud, or would the Elementals be like 'oh hell no'
This thread on Woodsin should help answer some of your questions! Particularly, post #11, as it pertains to how immigrants to Gridania are judged by the elementals before they can stay, as well as some of the criminal factions present in the Twelveswood.
In short, there are many criminals present in the Black Shroud. From poachers, to bandits, to murders, to Duskwights. For the most part, the elementals don't seem to care if you're a heinous criminal - just as long as what you're doing isn't harming the Wood. We've got examples of bandits aplenty from the Redbellies to the Coeurlclaws to Ailbert the Lost to the Mujuuk's and more. While the Wood Wailers and Gods Quiver attempt to deal with these criminal elements, they don't really seem to bother the elementals very much.
