Elemental Guardians and the Icons from Gods and Icons

Blue Aoife makes great use of elemental guardians, whom she sees as allies. Thrice-Wise Mercurius and Queen Tanadil use them as well, but as tools rather than allies. Occasionally these creatures will be seen in the service of Lady Akuma, Lord Ikal, or Ghiama.
