Archomental
No matter their alignment Archmentals only care for the betterment of their native element. The only differences are the specific ways each Archomental goes about it change. They grant spells and familiars to those that follow them as they garner support in the neverending struggles between their opposing factions. They are divided between the Elemental Princes of Good and Evil.
Ben-Hadar, Prince of Good Water Creatures
Ben-hadar was a gruff warrior who seemed loud, boisterous, arrogant, and aggressive, but on the inside he was serene as a still pool. He was a deeply emotional and intuitive person, and one who would sacrifice himself to save his plane and his followers, whom he deeply cared for and nurtured as needed. The biggest flaw in his personality was his unwillingness to look beyond the Plane of Water.
Terms: You are charged with protecting the purity of the sea and its denizens.
Punishments: Water turns to salt water in your mouth.
Chan, Princess of Good Air Creatures
Chan was a master of calm breezes and gentle sounds, patiently watching the forces of evil. When angered, however, she could rage like the fiercest winds and tornadoes. She was a gracious host to guests who visited her home, though she spent most of her time wandering the Plane of Air, quietly seeking to further the cause of good. Because of her actions, she ruled more by reputation than by word.
Terms: You are charged with protecting the freedom of air creatures and freeing those that have been tethered.
Punishments: Air turns to smoke as you breathe it.
Sunnis, Princess of Good Earth Creatures
Sunnis was a gentle individual who treated her servants as cherished children. Despite her kindness, she was not passive, and was no less opposed to evil than her fellow Princes of Elemental Good.
Terms: You are charged with protecting the underground inhabitants of the earth and heeding their call.
Punishment: The ground you walk upon becomes quicksand.
Zaaman Rul, Prince of Good Fire Creatures
He was honorable and courageously stood against evil, though many considered him naïve and inexperienced as the newest of the Archomentals. He was thoughtful and diplomatic, but had little patience for people who lacked tact, honesty, or etiquette, and was as much a creature of action as of communication. The Resilient Ember was enthusiastic in everything he did.
Terms: You are charged with undermining Immix and all his machinations.
Punishments: Metal becomes too hot for you to handle.
Immix, Prince of Evil Fire Creatures
Imix was passionate, quick to anger, vain, paranoid and prone to jealousy. He seemed to have an endless supply of energy, which was spent on schemes that were always to the detriment of others. He was noted as a masterful tactician and was very creative but his overconfidence and haughtiness caused him to rush into situations and he easily became frustrated when things didn't go according to his plans. He destroyed any who refused to acquiesce to him.
Terms: You must maintain favor with him through gifts of combustible, man made creations and sacrifices.
Punishments: Your Fire based spells burn you.
Ogremoch, Prince of Evil Earth Creatures
Ogrémoch was wholly selfish, regarding all the wealth within the earth as his own. This was not because he needed the wealth, but because of the principle of the thing. What he could not crush under his massive form, he outlasted. Ogremoch always thought in the long term, usually devising not just one but three schemes for each of his upcoming projects. Others might have mistaken him for a slow thinker, but in truth, Ogremoch killed his enemies just as swiftly as other deities, but only if he saw no further opportunity to use them.
Terms: You swear to defend the treasures of the Earth as Ogremoch views all under the earth as his property.
Punishments: Sinkholes form beneath you.
Olhydra, Princess of Evil Water Creatures
Olhydra delighted in creating dangerous and destructive manifestations of water. She was eager to smash any vessel in her realm and destroy any city and town within her reach. She could surge forth tirelessly and relentlessly, but was patient enough to know when to draw back and when to attack, eroding her opponent. Of all the Princes of Elemental Evil, she was the most interested in mortals. She recognized pirates and seafaring raiders as her agents, whether they knew it or not, because they reddened the water with blood and occasionally dropped treasure into her clutches. She sometimes spared the worst of them, knowing they would deliver others to her.
Terms: You are sworn to sink vessels that are not pirates into Olhydra’s depths and are to aid ships sailed by pirates as they often bring her more victims.
Punishments: Your body slowly turns to ice.
Yan-C-Bin, Prince of Evil Air Creatures
Yan-C-Bin was flighty and quick to react to things, but he was also a rational thinker with a desire for intellectual stimulation and a love of scholarly pursuits. It was said that all creatures in the sky of any plane feared Yan-C-Bin. But he also had a strong sense of honor and would generously reward those who helped him.
Rewards: He is the hardest Evil Elemental Prince to please, but if he is pleased, through destruction of other elementals or inhabited pieces of the material plane he is also the most generous
Punishments: Air becomes poisonous to you causing a variety of effects as determined by your DM similar but not limited to effects such as Stinking Cloud or Cloudkill.
