The Amii are the physical incarnations of the elements, formed in order to free the mortal children of the elements from the subjugation of the skanes and their giant masters. Creating wells and orbs from primal ore to tap into Nyn's power and elemental bonds, the Amii fought on an even footing with the skanes.
