=== A New Nation ===
For a long while, the mages' attempts went unanswered. However, with perseverance came success. After fifty years of effort, they finally succeeded in relaying their wishes to the elementals. On the understanding that the Gelmorrans would defend the forest, the elementals gave them permission to return to the light of day. As a blessing and of proof of the accord, they bestowed a glowing light upon Jorin Lightheart, the Hyuran leader of the mages. Thus, the Gelmorrans abandoned the caves and began building a home amidst the Jadeite Thick. They christened this new city Gridania.
Just as people were growing accustomed to their lives above ground, a child was born to the house of Jorin. Curiously, the child had horns, and never seemed to age beyond childhood, no matter how many years passed. Most extraordinary of all, the child could hear the elementals' thoughts and began to act as their emissary. With time, Gridanians came to realize the child was the selfsame blessing given to Jorin- a bridge betwixt man and elemental. These horn beings came to be venerated as Padjal, and continue to be born to Hyuran houses on rare occasions. To this day, they serve as the honored leaders of Gridania.
