Life in the Savage Lands is often difficult and quite frequently perilous. The four regions around the Blessed Isle were designed to be lethal to invading Fair Folk, the Elementals had the power to command their surrounding and use them as a weapon. Demesnes attract powerful supernatural creatures that make the realms all the more dangerous.
A Note on Elemental Power
The four elemental Crafts (excluding Earth) were used by Elementals, and the Elemental Dragons, not to build objects the way people use Craft (this may require some reworking of the definition of Craft) but to control the element they lived in and use it against the Fair Folk.
