Elemental (WOD)

Elementals are spirits that embody the classical elements, although modern times have seen the rise of new elementals, who embody concepts like plastic, glass or electricity. There are also wyrmish counterparts to each element that serve the correspondent Elemental Wyrm. They might be related to the Inanimae, Faeries that embody the dreams of the inanimated world.

Elder Garou believe that the Elementals are Gaia's first creation and that newer elementals are a perversion that signals the Apocalypse. Others believe that these elementals were always present but lacked the material substance to manifest themselves. Although there are stories of an Elemental Court in the High Umbra, most Garou do not believe in its existence. Theurges say that what outsiders perceive as a hierarchy are only reflections of one's own assumptions that the Elemental reflects in order to better communicate with a creature of flesh.
