They are Hyur children who are chosen by the Elementals, which causes them to be born with horns (for...some reason) and have a natural affinity towards nature and conjury. All Padjai we have seen in the game are dedicated to the Elemental's cause and unable to defy them. I'd say that's tempering right there.
As far as I know, they are not actually Hyur. Â They are their own race, and are ageless (effectively immortal? Â They are able to be killed, but they do not get old and die). Â It seems a bit more akin to the Greek stories of the gods placing their offspring in the wombs of human women.
Also, what about Hearers? Â o_O
Quote:If I had to speculate, I'd say the Elementals are some kind of aetheric pressence limited to the Black Shroud. That would explain why they have been weakened by the Calamity: their aetheric sustenance comes from the forest itself, instead of piles and piles of crystals like the Primals.
I still don't believe they're Primals. Â They seem to be something else entirely.
