Large mounds of rock and fire, these large dreadnoughts of destruction pose a threat to nearby communities. They are vicious creatures, and not much can stand in their wake of destruction and chaos.
Description[]
Described as monumental creatures of fire, ash, and rock, Fire Elementals are more r less a threat to samll communities, and a poseable danger to larger communities. They are, in essence, a firestorm waiting to wreak havoc upon anything beautiful, serene, and calm. They are twisted beasts, bent of malevolent destruction. They seem to have no connection at all with the other elements other than fire and earth. As such, Fire Elementals are resourceful, but not at all extremely intelligent.
Their low intelligence comes at a great price-- they have an array of devestating attacks that can level communities, and take down entire forests with a couple of days. They have a hard shell of rock to protect themselves from external attacks to a degree. Weak weapons pose no threat, while stronger, magical weapons pose a serious threat to the elementals, thus forcing them to take drastic measures.
There are two types of Fire Elementals: The normal elementals that walk near the volcanoes-- the most commonly known ones, and then there are the terrifying Dreadnought Elementals, which are the elementals that storm the lower ends of the mountains.
The Dreadnought Elementals pose a serious threat to communities, because that is what they become when they leave to extreme climate of the volcanoes. They cool down, and create a hardened shell around them, turning them into vicious bulldozers, mowing down anything in their path. Only strong or magical weapons can pierce through their tough armor-- otherwise small village communities don't stand a chance against an onslaught of Dreadnoughts. They never travel alone. If you see Dreadnoughts coming at you... run.
History[]
Fire Elementals are the result of the loss of divine balance between Schi'vya and her natural born elements. This has in turn turned her into the Lord of the Four Elements. Her form, over time, will start changing.
Important Settlements[]
So far, the Fire Elementals have no Settlements, other than the volcanoes in which they were forged from.
Society[]
They have not developed a civilized society, and will not do so, until they attain a certain level of knowledge.

Sample Member[]
Fire Elementals are threateningly powerful, and will unleash a terrible torrent of fire towards unsuspecting passersby. They are increasingly threatening towards the Air Elementals, for they are the only beings that can be killed by the Fire Elementals.
