The Elements

The Elven Elements
Elven philosophers have determined that their are three main elements in the world; Sky, Sea, and Earth. However there exists intermediary states between the elements; Storm between Sky and Sea, Mist between Sea and Earth, and Fire between Earth and Sky. Notably, these elements are described as cyclical, that an object changing between states must do so in order.

The three main elements are seen to be stronger than their intermediate forms. This explains why wind disperses mist, rivers flow over land, and water puts out fires.

The elements are a key concept in understanding magic in the world.
