The Eldaments are the fourth race, and share a common genetic ancestor with the Nomanders

BIOLOGY
The Eldaments are similar to the Mitosi/Technopolians. However, their elemental powers rely on staves carved by the resident chieftans.

CULTURE
When compared to an Earth culture, the various groups bear a similarity to Native American/First Nation cultures (I freely admit I do not know enough to accurately describe these traditions).

HISTORY
The Eldaments share a genetic connection with the Wanderers, sharing a common ancestor. During the Final War, the one that created the Oceanic Dent, the Wanderers chose to leave Balencia, and afterward, the scattered Eldament tribes recently chose to relocate into a reshaped Oceanic Dent floor. The Eldement Chiefs were chose to watch over both the entrance to the Subterranean Bubble, as well as a portal to La Tierra de los Muertos-the world of the passed. This has caused several strange and unrecorded instances, the most notable of which being the incident early in their history that cast aside the Dark is Evil stereotype, and created two new tribes aside from the Classical four of Fire, Water, Earth, and Air. The two new tribes are Light and Shadow. The Eldaments are lead by Eamon, a reanimated skeleton who wields a Glowstone staff that channels energy.

The Eldaments use their magical energy to maintain sub oceanic pressure, as the mer-people do not possess this ability. Furthermore, they are the most spiritually in-tune of Balencians, preferring worship of Novanto over the Rogue and Mage.

CONTINENT
The Eldaments live in the Oceanic Dent, as well as a few on Spearpoint Island, the only remaining piece of land from the destruction of the Nomander Continent left over from the end of the Final War.
Down below, where there are few actual cities, the viewof the sky is beautiful. Here the skyline is now the wet crater walls of the dent rising high, with the Great Current arcing above, suspended through magic. The dent floor, prior to the Return of the Eldaments, is actually a perfect copy of the former continent, pushed a mile down into the crust by the gods.

The Eldament Temple, which is located on Spearpoint Island, is connected through the dent floor by a long staircase, as well as a teleporter pad. The temple has seven rooms: Foyer, Room of History, Fire Room, Water Room, Earth Room, Air Room, and the Shrine. The Shrine is THE most important room on Balencia, as it generates the magic Balencians use every day. Destroy this room, and the entire planet could explode due to internal pressure. But if too much magic is released from the orb, Balencians could die from the build up. This is Eamon's job; keeping the magical energy in safe levels.
I basically used "Steady as the Beating Drum" from Disney's Pocahontas as inspiration for this Report.

The Eldaments are represented IRL by Lego figures, with Eamon being a Lego Skeleton.
