My goal is to create important aspects of each basic element (Earth, Air, Water and Fire), and how it impacts the world I’ve created socially, economically, and through the government. Specifically, I’m looking at different jobs people of these elements would lean toward.
An example is with the earth element. These earth elementals tend to fall under three main categories for field of work: agriculture/farming, construction and mining. They focus on plants, ground and rock. Farming provides crops for trade and feeding people, construction provides shelter and mining provides currency or trade depending on what is being mined.
While all three of those are basic necessities to life anywhere, I’m having a harder time finding specific fields of work in the other elements. Basic ideas I’ve come up with is smithing in relation to fire, sailing or exploration with water but for air, I’m seriously stuck. Except possibly scouts or spies, I can’t come up with anything.
I’m looking for suggestions people wouldn’t mind sharing, about how certain jobs could be impacted in a positive way by these elements. For a basic idea about my setting, its a mash-up between middle-earth and modern world. Magic replaces or enhances a lot of technology. For example, there are no airplanes because most people can teleport or use horse and carriage / walking for travel.
