The language of the little blue people was filled with "HWOO HWOO" sounds, as if imitating the wind.
The pair stood dumbfounded for a moment, wondering where this Elder had come from. He was so old that he was slumped in a floating chair, which was being pulled by two younger tribe members riding flying beasts.
When he drew near, the Elder spoke in a strange accent, using a halting, unpracticed version of the common tongue.
"Great Mages... from the Land of Bliss... are you here... to mediate our dispute? Or to seek aid?"
The Elder was likely the only one in the entire tribe who could communicate in the common tongue. He explained that when he was young, a Caster had once adventured to the Air Elemental Plane. The Elder had been chosen to be his guide and servant, and by the time the Caster had completed his lengthy exploration, the Elder had acquired a great deal of knowledge and learned the language of the "Land of Bliss."
