The Elementals

== Intro ==
The Elementals are a group of four fae that were created by Olwyn. They are part of the 15 original fae created. The four elementals despite being created by Olwyn consider themselves to be the daughters or sons of their particular elements. While like all fae they are able to do an array of different forms of magic they are most adept and strongest with their particular element.
== Their Story ==
In
the beginning there were fifteen original fae that were created by Olwyn,
Aethanryke and the Greenman. The Endless, seven siblings gifted with abstract
forces that appeared naturally within the world. The Seasons by pan to hold
dominion over the seasons. The last of these original fae to be created were
the four Elementals. These four could each respectably control one of the four
elements: Earth, Fire, Water, and Air. The elementals although created by Olwyn
considered themselves the daughters and sons of their elements. When the unrest
began, starting with the Endless and The Seasonal fae the four Elementals chose
to remove themselves from the fighting. They did not wish to anger the gods.
However, as the war became more and more furious and battles were fought the
Elementals had no choice but to join. They chose to join the war counsels of
the fae to try and ensure that the battles were fought fairly and with honor.
If they were to fight a war they wanted it to be fair, but then the gods
themselves began to take advantage of their immense amounts of power adding
brutality and torture to among their arsenals. The fae were weak to defeat such
power. When the day of the final battle came the four elementals stood together
as one to combat the gods. Etain the daughter of water had lost countless
children including her husband. Gaia the daughter of earth had seen her
daughters of the trees hacked and burned to the ground with their dying screams
ringing in her ears. The sons of Fire and Air, Ashbel and Aeolus had gone unharmed
for the most part only having lost lovers and friends to the hatred of the
gods. Despite their combined power though they could not beat the gods back. As
the battle was won and the gods began to round of up the fae to put into their
imprisonment three escaped, the daughter of earth and the sons of fire and air.
Etain was taken albeit willingly as she had much to despair and had lost her
will to fight. The other three were hunted down throughout Ga’leah till each
found a way to escape the Greenman. Gaia became a willow tree in the great
Oasis in Solhara, Aeolus split himself into the four winds, and Ashbel became
the first salamanders and flint stones.
