Air Elementals — the living wind of Azeroth
Vanilla WoW Classic 1.12 · x5 realm · wowx5.ruAir elementals are the swift embodiment of the element of air, the host of Al'Akir the Windlord and offspring of the boundless skies of the Elemental Plane. Among the elementals they are the fastest and most elusive: whirlwinds and cyclones that strike with lightning and race away. For a WoW Classic player they are a mobile foe and a source of rare reagents.
Air elementals are fast and like to keep their distance, showering lightning. Slows and the ability to pull a target to you are worth more than brute strength — catching a whirlwind is no easy task.
Who air elementals are
An air elemental is living wind given will: a cyclone, a whirlwind or a mass of storm-charged air. It has almost no fixed form, moves swiftly and strikes with bolts of lightning and gusts of storm. To catch and hold such a being is no small feat.
Air elementals come from the Elemental Plane — the realm of endless sky and storm. There rules Al'Akir the Windlord, one of the four Elemental Lords, whose dominion is the very air above the world.
The host of Al'Akir
All air elementals serve Al'Akir the Windlord. He is the most aloof and cunning of the Elemental Lords, and his host at times answers the call of the Old Gods when they sow storm across the world.
Air complements and balances earth: lightness against weight, motion against permanence. Understanding the hierarchy of elements, you see behind a simple whirlwind the whole lore of the elementals.
