Hello! Summoning all lore mages!
I've been doing a little bit of research into the Elementals for something I'm writing. I noticed the fear of the wrath of the Elementals was way more present in 1.0, where the Greenwrath, people getting abducted by the forest and treants (+ other forest creatures) attacking settlements was an everyday thing. Holding rituals to appease them was part of their culture and everyday routine.
From what I remember during my MSQ playthrough none of this is barely mentioned, if at all. If anything, it is mentioned that pre-Calamity, they're strong enough to strip a Padjal of their powers completely (EW tank role quest). Do you think they'd still be able to do this?
We know the Elementals used a lot of their power to shield as much of the Twelveswood as they could during the Calamity. So we're left to assume that they're either not powerful enough to go berserk on Gridanians like that anymore, or they're suddenly a lot more chill about things? I'm just confused here.
Do we have any information on what they can and can't do nowadays?
TL;DR: I'm looking for examples (preferably with some sort of source I can reference) of Elementals using their powers post-Calamity, to get an idea of what they can and cannot do for something I'm writing.
