The Wolken is like the humid atmosphere, as it is a cloud of being covering the Earth. Its nature is to ever reach out of its formless potential as does a writhing cloud makes shapes.
The Drygand is like water that fluidly fits to any shape that it encounters, as he shape-shifts to fit the circumstance. His nature is manifest-form to fit external requirements.
Man is like fire, which in Nature is a rare, accidental occurrence that consumes all before it. Man's nature is to burn with light and heat, to billow, flicker, and leap like ever-forming flames, and to leave char and ash behind.
The other living species are like stones which have been shaped by the elements, as the species have been shaped by natural selection-- and are now being shaped as well by human selection.
The Alfar are like air and water and fire and stone, having the nature of the Wolken, of the Drygand, of Man, and of the species that form the integrated Web of Life. All these elements are in the Alfar mixed in just proportion to make a new creature that fits salubriously within the whole Web, as within the array of elements.
