The Elemental guard is the force that keeps peace in the fairy world. It consists of the four elemental creatures. Undines, sylphs,salamanders and gnomes.

Salamanders are large lizards. Very big like tanks. They're the brute force, the fire power. They are the leaders.

Sylph's bodies are like breeze and clouds. Their colours are white, blue, grey and sometimes purple. When light refracts off their skin rainbows are visible, like light on clouds. They're heads taller than humans, and are very light. Their clothing is simply cut, involving flowing capes or skirts and maybe a top layer of gauze. They have either round insectoid wings or feathery ones. They live in clouds or in forest glades. They are flighty and face change with ease. They aren't big fans of humans due to the fact that they believe they can pin a sylph down. However they are accepting of other sylphs and think of each other as an extended family.

Undines have the most vivid colour variations of the elementals. They tend to have fins or gills or scales and are shorter than humans. They have much more fat or blubber for insulation and vary based on habitat. They have a deep understanding of human emotions and feel affection towards them as a species. They are said to only have a soul after marriage. The truth is that they can sync with humans to the point that life force is shared. This is a permanent thing but a weaker temporary form can be used to help give energy to severely weakened ill humans.

Gnomes live solely underground. They like to build and craft and create magnificent structures. They are earth elementals.
