The Jattailainen are beings that are born as embodiements over certain elements. Which elements are never revealed until they reach sixteen years of age. Until then,Jattailainen are seen as humans. On their sixteenth birthday,a ritual is performed by a high priestess that reveals their element and they are often sent off to learn how to master that element and all it encompasses. They are allowed to use whatever tools they find,be it a teacher or those with knowledge that helps them. Even staffs or other such physical things that can help harness their powers. Those of this species are often seen as divine beings but they aren't gods or anything of the sort. They are just masters at what they do. And often trained to be stronger,faster and such over others during their travels that hone what comes with their powers at sixteen. Girls and boys both have the ability to be equally strong as each other,a lot of it has to do with how seriously they learn and train instead of goofing off. What element or thing a Jattailainen is born with is often decided by the gods when they are born. And it manifests itself during the formative years for when it can be revealed during the ritual.
If they wish to return to their home village,they must undergo several trials to prove they have mastered their element. The trials are often changed to suit the person undergoing them and there will always be a mental side to it. Forcing these beings to confront everything,to push themselves to the limit and beyond. Many have called these trials and them being forced into training at sixteen as cruel. However the elder Jattilainen feel that is the best way to force the younglings to take it seriously instead of focusing on things best left until after their training is mostly complete. Control is something they see as a lifetime thing to learn. These beings are strong enough that they can walk the different planes if they know how to access them. Even the planes of the gods.
