Grome

King Grome is the ruler of the element of earth and King of the Earth Elementals. His brother is King Straasha of the Water Elementals. Together they created the magical vessel known as the Ship Which Sails Over Land and Sea, the ownership of which has been an issue of contention between them ever since.[1]

Description[]

"...a huge, brown figure stood looking down at the ship. The figure was the colour of earth and looked like a vast, old oak. His hair and his beard were the colour of leaves and his eyes were the colour of gold ore and his teeth were the colour of granite and his feet were like roots and his skin seemed covered in tiny green shoots in place of hair and he smelled rich and musty and good and he was King Grome of the Earth Elementals." [1]

Personality[]

Grome is not an evil god, but he is often petulant and carelessly destructive, and generally less thoughtful than his brother Straasha. Nonetheless, he can (eventually) be reasoned with.[1]
