| I mean if they lived in a modern day settings. Seeing how technology and other advancements would rival or even out compete the need for shinlai how would they fair. How would they fit into the new society or would they just isolate themselves. Discussion please. | |

| I don't know about what the real ones would do, but if I was a shinlai in modern society, I would go hide on an island or something. Modern people, it seems like, enjoy shooting all the big hairy beasts. | |

| Are we talking about them as if they grew with the modernisation, or that they've been transported to a modern world?
If they grew with it, they would probably be used to it and intergrated with the humans just like they are now. If anything their elements would be more helpfull, water shinlai helping to stop floods, earth shinlai making sure crops would keep growing, etc.
If transported there, they'd probably group together and isolate themselves while they try to figure out what went on. The might befriend a few humans but it would be small villages/farms rather than huge cities I imagine.
Although I wouldn't put it past Silas to wonder through a city and cause havoc. | |

| I thought that their use of their elements would be need for less see as how with advancements in technology would cover most problems. like earth shinlai used for mine replaced by huge digging machine that can work for 24/7, i want to know what kind on niches would they occupy? Its seemed to me that humans use shinlai to overcome technological gaps like making building, or using water shinlai for transportion. while your example of an earth shinlai used to grow crops would have a niche but what about the other shinlai? | |
