True - I think it does say a lot about the Gridanians that they view the Elementals (unpredictable, amoral - not unmoral, amoral - and violent) as benevolent, and that listening to them is a good form of government. I can't remember the simile I opened the post to write, but in essence - it's easy for most people to do terrible things in the name of someone else, especially when that "someone else" is already fickle and violent and viewed as good despite being fickle and violent.
