Description

It is said that elementals born from the Four Humors come forth due to the traces of life left within their fluids. This is spoken by the Church of Divine Wealth, who tells that the Four Humors were created by Ichor, when the godly fluid was separated into four mortal parts. It should never be forgotten that Ichor is the bringer of all life, the very lifeblood that came from the skies. When the great corpses fell to this world, their golden fluids was what brought about creation. It is only fitting that this fluid of life can give birth to new beings on its very own, as Ichor can form into its own elemental. However, there is another godly fluid that can do that as well, though its presence brings no worship, only fear. Alkahest, the rot of the gods, seethes and stagnates within the world. Its corrosive touch bringing true death to everything, feeding on life and giving back nothing. Though the Church calls this silver fluid heretical and forbidden, there is no denying its power. Even in death, there is a spark of life, bringing forth horrible birth.

The two elementals born from the Godly Fluids are even rarer than the elementals of the humors, as their creation calls for large concentrations of said fluid. To have such vast stores of Ichor untapped, or great reserves of Alkahest left intact, is exceedingly rare. But with the countless corpses and divine graves that make up this world, there is always a stone left unturned. It is said that these elementals are valued more as omens than marks, as their presence hints at a great amount of Godly Fluid nearby. Great blessings to those who discover them, but also great danger...

Ichor Elemental: The embodiment of life, which can be seen in its ceaseless writhing form. Ichor elementals move across the land like a living storm, their many limbs constantly swaying and grasping. They seek nothing, but give everything, as precious Ichor leaks from their stumps and sprinkles the earth beneath them with life giving fluid. One can track one of these elementals by the trails of vibrant plant growth left in their wake. When an Ichor elemental is spotted, there is much rejoicing, as a store of holy Ichor must be nearby. The Church demands that they be told of all elementals, so that they may send out the proper authorities to deal with this entity and sanctify the Ichor pool that birthed it. Either this Ichor will be harvested and taken back to a major Church sanctuary, or a new temple will be constructed right atop it, where all may bask in the Ichor's divine presence. However, though this elemental gives life, it is by no means peaceful. Life demands death, and existence calls for sacrifice and prey. Ichor elementals will attack any who get too close, their many limbs reaching to snare the victim. One should never forget that Ichor is incredibly toxic to mortals, and being exposed to large amounts of the fluid can mean a painful death. Their touch, though, is the least of one's worries, as the many bodies will stretch out to envelope prey. They will chain themselves together to reach fleeing prey, and then drag them into their writhing mass. Those taken by their arms will be pulled into the unseen maw and bathed in refined, pure Ichor. To some, this seems like a great blessing, but most will find this death horrible and painful. They will be reverted to their primordial fluids, their humors being consolidated into pure Ichor once more. It is said that every victim of an Ichor elemental will become one of its cyclopean growths, joining the mass to forever serve the Godly Fluid.

Alkahest Elemental: The embodiment of death, one where there is no return. It reeks of the destructive power of Alkahest, its own form melting and fading, only to reconstitute itself again and again. It haunts the land like a specter, spreading death wherever it goes. They take everything, but give back nothing, as the touch of Alkahest dissolves all organic matter. These elementals can be tracked by lifeless silvery paths they carve through the world, where plant, soil and flesh is reduced to dull powder. When an Alkahest elemental is spotted, fear will grip the entire region. Not only is a vile reaper about, but there is an unknown pool of Alkahest nearby, silently eating away at the world and its inhabitants. The Church will spring into action to destroy this elemental and properly seal away this forbidden body. While some may be wary of Church interference, all are relieved that someone else is tasked with facing such a feared foe. There is no wonder of the power this elemental wields, as a single scratch will create a devastating wound, as the Alkahest eats through flesh and bone. Simple strikes leave weeping powdery holes, as victims dissolve away into nothing. This is what everyone truly fears, the final death. Those consumed by Alkahest will be turned to lifeless powder and sludge that will soon fade to nothing, their fluids never returning to the earth for rebirth. To make matters worse, these elementals seek victims, for death demands life. Any living thing will bring its ire, and its long dissolving arms shall seek to end everything it can touch. The one mercy is that Alkahest is inherently unstable and in a perpetual state of decay. In time, the elemental will not be able to hold back its own demise, and it too shall dissolve into nothing.

A warning to all, that these two elementals should never meet. Ichor and Alkahest are two opposing forces, their existences contradicting the other. Unending life cannot meet ceaseless death. Should these Godly Fluids meet in such a state, they would cause an unstable reaction, blowing the land around them to pieces. A quick end for two powerful entities, but a violent one for any caught in the blast.

Just throwing in a couple more elementals! The real important ones!
