-Although elementals may not be truly humanoids in the strictest sense, most scholars can't find a better place to categorize them. They come in a few distinct variations, with the vast majority following the lines of the four arcane elements: fire, earth, water, and air. The skin and hair of an elemental usually matches their magical type: for example, a fire elemental may have red or orange skin always hot to the touch, or an earth elemental may have hair that resembles crystal formations. Otherwise, they resemble one of the mundane humanoid peoples.+Although elementals may not be truly humanoids in the strictest sense, most scholars can't find a better place to categorize them.

 It is hard to pinpoint when the first elementals came to be. Most of them are descendants of mages that achieved ultimate heights of their art, interdimensional travelers who spent too much time on a particular elemental plane, or unfortunate victims of magical cataclysms. With time, rich magical energies were engraved on their very being, slowly changing them from humans, elves, dwarves, etc. into beings closely tied to magic itself. Many elementals nowadays are descended from such suffused bloodlines.  It is hard to pinpoint when the first elementals came to be.
