@SenorGustavianIf you have an Aarakocra monk, is extra speed added to flying, or just ground speed? I *think* it's just ground speed.

@CHoffos @CodarusTridon I think the air cult – wings and such, storms, looked most dramatic

@maxximenezI’m surprised at the lack of cleric support in the elemental supplement. Some of the spells would fit tempest clerics well. we're taking it slow with clerics – much easier to do some more testing and add spells later

@maxximenezI assume the same goes for elemental monks? I found their lack of attention conspicuous. Will we see more in future UA articles? yeah, we're being *very* careful especially early on. hard-learned mistake from past editions.

The King of Dungeon Masters, Chris Perkins, gives a blast from the past, something from an ancient tome called Fiend Folio: here are described the four Elemental Princes of Evil that will be in the upcoming campaign adventure Princes of the Apocalypse.

Master Chris is giving suggest me another thought : Princes of the Apocalypse adventure narrates about 4 Elemental Evil Prophets that are linked with their Princes of Evil, here their connection:

• AERISI KALINOTH, the Air Prophet ⇒ Yan-C-Bin (Prince of Evil Aerial Creatures)
• MARLOS URNRAYLE, the Earth Prophet ⇒ Ogrémoch (Prince of Evil Earth Creatures)
• VANIFER, the Fire Prophet ⇒ lmix (Prince of Evil Fire Creatures)
• GAR SHATTERKEEL, the Water Prophet ⇒ Olhydra (Princessof Evil Water Creatures)

If you want to dig in the knowledge about The Four Elemental Princes of Evil you need to search their alias: The Archomental.
In Planescape settings there’s the Planescape Monstrous Compendium Appendix III that well describes all of them and their relationship with the Tharizdun/The Dark God/Elder Elemental God, they are powerful but not demigod, they grant spell to their followers and yes, they can be slain.

If you want to play now a good prequel of Prince of the Apocalypse you can play Egg of the Phoenix adventure module where player characters must recover a powerful artifact and save an entire land from destruction by the Princes of the Elemental Evil.

Other references about four Princes are

• Dragon Magazine #285  article with new Elemental Evil monsters, how to fight against Elemental Evil and new EE spells
• Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil adventure module that is an immense adventure for charcter 4-14 level
• The beginning: The Temple of Elemental Evil adventure module.

There’s only an unanswered question:  where’s the fifth prince? The real son of the Elder Elemental God, Cryonax, Prince of Evil Cold Creatures???
