Although Elementals are pretty much a self-explanatory race. However, their natures and alliances are not as well known. All known Elemental races are one gender only. Their origin or breeding habits, if any, are unknown, as is the realm from which they reign. Most information we recovered are from our Earth and Water Elemental allies.
Any species with no asterisk next to its name is based on traditional myth or folklore.
* These species have been created in books or movies etc or by people outside of Lan Mesinsure.
** These species were created for the Atlantis series by Lan Mesinsure staff.

Fire Elementals: The Fire Elementals are simulacra of fire, and they are as chaotic as their element. They thrive on the destruction and take orgasmic joy in the chaos they sow. They seek to undo everything that is not their own, and even cross that line sometimes, as civil wars are not unheard of. This all-female race is one of the least controllable Elementals. They detest humanity, but love the world that they have created, because there is so much to burn. Fire Elementals are extremely powerful, but not invulnerable. When speaking to each other formally, they will refer to each other with the title "Flame."

Wind Elementals: Air Elementals, traditionally referred to as Wind Elementals, are wise and mysterious. When on the mortal realm, they dwell within the skies and live among the clouds. When summoned, they choose to assist the summoner depending on the plight he or she is engaged in. Many a time, this all-male race has chosen to look the other way against a seemingly noble cause, because they seem to have a well-planned system of precisely what does fit into the grand scheme of things. These are extremely powerful creatures, and have never lost a fight, so it is unknown if they are invincible, but it is presumed not. When speaking to each other formally, they will refer to each other with the title "Gale."

Water Elementals: Water Elementals are the more reliable of these races. The nature of water has been to go where directed, and so Water Elementals reflect that mentality somewhat, but have been known to reject the pleas for assistance from their summoners nonetheless. The Water and Fire Elementals have been at war (apparently) for eons. Their powers are matched, save for the Fire Elemental's penchant for destruction. Only found female, the Water Elementals are noble and have great ties to their element, more than most Elementals, and so they usually dwell in rivers and streams. When speaking formally, they refer to each other as "Tear" (as in teardrop).

Earth Elementals: These simulacra of Earth are a warrior race. Strong, noble, and honourable, they will fight for their interests with fury and passion. There are very few documented races which have a more warrior-based society than them. Earth Elementals are strong and furious, and persist not to use their control over the element of earth to their advantage until completely necessary, saying that it takes a lot of the real challenge out of battle. This can be quite a frustrating aspect for some summoners, and this was the reason that most went crazy. When speaking formally to each other, they are addressed, "Rock."

Lightning Elementals: Erratic, unpredictable, and deadly. These are the aspects of the Lightning Elementals. Entirely male, this race yearns for chaos, but not necessarily destruction. Like their mother element, their strategies, plans, and the intricate workings of their cunning minds are impossible to predict. They have absolutely no morals or respect for any life save their own. Their loyalties will shift daily, and their power and skill is unmatched. They are not to be trusted whatsoever, and an alliance with them is a jest. They are completely without morals or values, and will do what pleases them and nothing else. When addressing each other formally, the title "Spark" is assigned.

Snow Elementals: The female Snow Elementals, traditionally called Ice Elementals, are completely indifferent to the goings on of other races. They keep to themselves and very rarely involve themselves in the deeds of other creatures unless there is a very distinctive link to them. No official (or even unofficial) treaty has ever been met by the Snow Elementals, and they have forever been a wildcard in the realm. There has never been one documented case in which a Snow Elemental has agreed to assist the summoner in whatever he summoned her to do. When speaking to each other formally, they give the title "Icicle."
