Elementals are the sentient incarnations of the elements that create the world. Most elementals originate on another plane, like Fernia or Lamannia, but some have traveled to Eberron through manifest zones. They are also often summoned from their home planes to be bonded to devices, like airships, by arcane experts, like the gnomes of Zilargo.
