The Elementals
From top left to right the symbols follow: Water & Wind. And bottom left to right: Earth & Fire.
This symbol can be seen throughout all of Dena. Ancient runes and glyphs depict the four Elementals throughout history and can be seen embroidered into clothing or etched into door frames. Innumerable amounts of ways are they used to display individual birth signs. Most commonly are they all together in the fashion of a compass rose. The significance of their order in the symbol has been lost through the ages. Some say the dragons knew the reason, for they were the architects of the beginning days. They were the Gods of the Elementals. But these are just children stories now.

A now known occurrence within Animal species are special cases of an Animal being born under an element in which they have already spent most of their lives using to their advantage. A bird being born under Wind. A mole being born under the sign of Earth. In the case depicted, a river otter would have an uncommon knowledge of Water. Being generally playful in nature, this particular otter moves an amount of water with him. Making travel across land quite easy. He is able to meld the water into infinite shapes. He can freeze it in any shape, or boil a small area between his paws, or even (if he is truly skilled) turn his water to steam and back again.
