What's you opinion on elemental spirits like gnomes, salamanders, undines and sylphs?

I don't often interact with them; I'm more likely to interact with the elements themselves or with spirits of specific places, bodies of water, etc. than the elemental denizens, so to speak. In general, I find that they won't bother me if I don't bother them first. I tend to view them as neighbors in the neighborhood, folks I know but that I don't actively seek out.

We're playing "What's your opinion on...?"! (:

#WORLD52 WEEK 6 SUBMISSION:

THE BROKEN COVENANT & FALLEN GLADES

February and Week 6 of #WORLD52 is already here! I am crazy tired and it's been a long week, so let's get RIGHT into more lore from my my latest project: the PRIMAL MONSTER TAMING FANTASY TTRPG setting of-

(SUMMONER: THE WILD HUNT is still in developement, but look for us to start airing the actualplay and dropping a demo packet sometime in MAY 2025!) So, when we last left off, the children of Oᒪᗩᑎ unmade themselves to give birth to Spirits of Will (us), inheritors of their hopes and their Willpower and the Spirits Divine, inheritors of, SEᑭᑌ, ᐯEᑎᗩ, ᗩᖇᗪE & ᕼEᒪᗩ Elemental Magics & Duty to Oᒪᗩᑎ, and the Godtree extended it's covenant to shelter it's new Grandchildren. Let's continue the story!

-------------------------LORE BEYOND HERE-------------------------

Orah, what followed was an the Age of Contentment for the Spirits of Will. Oᒪᗩᑎ was as good as it's word, and it's grandchildren wanted for nothing. The Spirits Divine shaped the world to suit their needs, and delivered unto them prosperity. When hunger gnawed at them, Sepuan Spirits would hunt animals for them to roast, or bring wild millet, milk and honey for them to make sweetbreads. When they thirsted, Helan Spirits would bring fruits, berries, hops and cool, fresh water from the mountains to make fine meads and wine. When the cold of winter gripped them, Arden Spirits would light fires in their hearths and make blazing bonfires, and when heat oppressed them, Venan Spirits would dance through the sky, bringing the coolest breezes with them. Orah, to live in such times was to live in an age of wonders. Yet Spirits of Will must grow beyond themselves, as is the nature of such things. Contentment soon became disquiet. With every need met, Spirits of Will built what spoke to them. Their Scholars turned to blowing glass instruments and studying things so massive as the movement of stars and as things so small they could scarcely be said to have existed at all, but Orah, knowledge did not sate them. Their Builders crafted great aquaducts and cities, that thousands could live under the same roof, and that the needs of all were met, but Orah, those works were never enough. Their Artists crafted great works of art, pottery, sculpture, music and poetry, that all would have beauty and joy, but Orah, their hearts yearned for greater things. Soon, disquiet begot desperation, and desperation begot resentment. And Spirits of Will turned to Oᒪᗩᑎ, their protector, and said, "You have promised us peace in you shade, yet with full bellies we hunger, with goblets of ale we thirst, with comfortable beds we ache. Why?" Orah, Oᒪᗩᑎ tried to comfort them, console them, speak to them. They were too small, and too loud, and they could no longer hear the Godtree's voice in the wind and the rain and the sun and the stone. And the Creature of Will, so sure of their knowledge, thought themselves abandoned. And their resentment turned to arrogance. Of what happened next, the storytellers cannot agree. Some say the Scholars enslaved the Spirits Divine that attended them, and wrung them of their magics, that they could wield the elements themselves. Some say the Builders felled an OᒪᗩᑎBRANCH, to use it lumber to build a tower into the sky and deep into the earth, that their might may be as magnificent as Oᒪᗩᑎ. Others say that their Artists wove a tune so enamoring that it would lure Spirits Divine from their duties, and make them the servants of mortals.

Maybe all of them happened.

Maybe none.

But we know what happened next. For the first time in an age, Oᒪᗩᑎ, the great Godtree, wailed in sorrow and rage, for it was betrayed by the children of it's children. The Earth split, and the Wind howled, and the Fires went wild and the Waters rose.

And Oᒪᗩᑎ said unto us,

I AM Oᒪᗩᑎ AND MY CHILDREN GAVE YOU LIFE. OH LOST CHILDREN OF MY CHILDREN, HEED ME: SPIRITS OF WILL, YOU HAVE ABANDONED YOUR HEARTS AS YOUR CHASED YOUR DREAMS. YOU WERE MADE OF THE LOVE OF MY FIRSTBORN, AND I GAVE YOU THEIR COVENANTTHAT YOU MAY KNOW PEACE IN MY SHADE. YET YOUR KIN, THE SPIRITS DIVINE, THOSE WHO FEED YOU, WHO SOOTH YOU, AND WARM YOU, AND QUENCH YOU, YOU CAGE. YOU KILL . YOU STEAL THEIR BIRTHRIGHT. AND MY BRANCHES, GIVEN FREELY, YOU FELL AND BURN AND STRIP.

YOU HAVE BROKEN MY COVENANT. AND SO I GIVE UNTO YOU A NEW ONE.

SPIRITS OF WILL, I TWIST MY BRANCHES FOR YOU NO MORE.I CAST YOU OUT FROM MY SHADE. YOU SHALL KNOW NO PEACE IN THE WILD. AND I PRUNE FROM YOU ALL BUT MY CHILDREN'S GIFTS. THROUGH ᕼEᒪᗩ YOU SHALL DRINK DEEP OF KNOWLEDGE. THROUGH ᗩᖇᗪE YOU SHALL DRAW ENDLESS MIGHT. THROUGH ᐯEᑎᗩ YOU SHALL KNOW ENDLESS GRACE. THROUGH SEᑭᑌ YOU SHALL ENDURE FOREVER.

ORAH, YOU WILL NEED THESE GIFTS, FOR YOUR ARROGANCE HAS MADE THE WORLD YOUR ENEMY, FOR LIKE AS CREEPER VINE THROTTLES IT'S TREE, IT IS IN YOUR NATURE TO GROW BEYOND YOURSELVES.FOR YOU WERE BORN OF LOVE, AND UNTIL YOU FIND IT ONCE MORE, YOU CANNOT KNOW PEACE.

SPIRITS DIVINE, I NOW TWIST MY BRANCHES FOR YOU. FOR YOU WIELD MY CHILDREN'S WONDERS, AND IN YOUR LOYALTY YOU HAVE BEEN WRONGED. ORAH, I GIVE YOU MY DIVINE MANDATE. YOU SHALL BE THEIR SHEPARDS. YOU SHALL BE THEIR JAILORS. WHEN YOU FIND THEM IN THE WILD, YOU SHALL HUNT THEM, FOR LIKE A CREEPER VINE THAT THROTTLES IT'S TREE, THEY MUST NEVER AGAIN GROW BEYOND THEMSELVES. FOR YOU WERE BORN OF POWER, AND WITH IT, YOU WILL KEEP VIGIL OVER YOUR KIN. THIS IS MY COVENANT WITH YOU. Such was Oᒪᗩᑎ's Will, and thus is was. The Spirits Divine that once served us fell upon us, and cast our works into ruin. Orah.

Imagine Mizuki met some of the elemental spirits.

(She would freak out, tbh).

'Elemental' Spirits au idea

The phrase makes things seem so simple, they're spirits who control the elements, as if people haven't been redefining words since language was created by reusing them before making up new ones. As changeable as elemental spirits are, is it any wonder that they look at the current definitions to decide what they're directed to control at any point in time. With 3 mostly vague meanings and another scientific one, of course it was unclear still what they might be able to control.

An essential or characteristic part of something abstract

A small but significant amount of a feeling or quality

the rudiments of a subject

a chemical substance that can't be broken down into other substances.

Hawkins has an over abundance of elemental spirits, or that's the theory as to why the party fighting the upside down keep blurring the line between human and elemental. They aren't limited for a moment by an idea of that limiting their powers to things like water, fire, air, earth or however people try to claim the 'natural' elements should be classed.

Take Will for example, the first to blur the lines. He's tied to communication and sound but only so far as he focuses. Dustin is still annoyed he didn't help to contact Susie when he came back from camp, despite never actually asking for it and already having dragged their friends up the hill boasting about how far his gadget would make him able to contact her.

Then there's Steve who find the type of elemental powers he received ironic given he got them by attacking and injuring the upside down animals. He has influence over wildlife, mostly if the animals have family groups, live in colonies or hives. It does help Steve be certain that he won't have ants from the crumbs the kids drop anytime they get together anywhere. Eddie jokes that he'd always had these powers and it's how he became the school king.

Hey, I’m back! And I brought a new OC with me!

Zephyra!

She’s an air elemental inspired by the concept of an elemental fantasy region.

Her height is 1’ 00” with a weight of 2 pounds.

She’s incredibly loyal and devoted, sometimes to the point of being overprotective. Her childlike wonder and playful nature make her a joy to be around.

The most common nickname for her is “Cloud Puff”. Hope you like her!

#WORLD52 WEEK 9 SUBMISSION:

SUMMONER'S WEAPONS

Week 9 of #WORLD52 is here, so it's time for more lore from my latest project: the PRIMAL MONSTER TAMING FANTASY TTRPG setting of-

(SUMMONER: THE WILD HUNT is still in developement, but look for us to start airing the actualplay and dropping a demo packet sometime in MAY 2025!) Last Week, we covered the armor and gear worn by Summoners, so this week, we're covering the other side of the coin: the weapons. Let's get into it!

-------------------------LORE BEYOND HERE-------------------------

Oᒪᗩᑎ never blessed us with teeth and claws. Spirits of Will were never meant to fight, yet we do. Against the world. Against our jailors. Against each other. We live in a world full of teeth, so we must make our own. For though our will is mighty enough to even sever Spirits Divine from their Oᒪᗩᑎ's Divine Mandate, beasts of the wild and our fellow Spirits of Will are not so bound, and they would kill us nonetheless. So, we forge teeth of our own. While what little metal we can refine and wood we can harvest within glades is poorly spent on armor, arming a Summoner is well worth the risk. Steel blades, torsion bows, hand woven nets, carefully furnished wooden staves... the arsenal of a Summoner is vast and varied. For a Summoner's weapons are not mere mundane metal and fibre, but inlaid with Quintessence, and conduits for the Divine Might that flows through it. Staves that weep venom. Bows that call lightning. Cudgels that scorch flesh with every strike. Spears that freeze what they stab. With foes as mighty as Summoners face, they cannot depend on their Bound Spirits alone. For this fight is ours, and we must fight it. Orah.

-------------------------LORE END HERE------------------------- Thanks for joining me in this week's #WORLD52!

I'll be back next week for WEEK 10, my Voyagers!

And the fire spirits went on, Free from the shackles of magic men, Vanished to the dry land Until every summer they choose to show, And they chant in triumph to the wails Of the ones who burned them
