"By comparison, Draenor has elemental spirits of varying power, but seemingly (at least so far as we currently know) lacks a similar group of elemental lords to directly enforce competition and chaos between them."

What's your take then on Cyrukh the Firelord from the Cipher of Damnation questline?

As I stated, it seems possible that the Cipher of Damnation IS the spell used by the Old Gods to summon and bind the four elemental lords to Azeroth and use them to control and direct Azeroth's elementals. Therefore, it's possible that Cyrukh is an elemental spirit of similar power and rank to Ragnaros but not part of the same 'elemental court' (see the Abyssal Council that works with the Twilight's Hammer in Silithus for another possible elemental court) as Ragnaros, Therazane, Al'Akir and Neptulon.

As Nobundo posits, each world seems to have its own hierarchy of elementals, and using the Cipher, one can summon and bind them. The process seems to be both inherently destructive and also can, if successful, FORCE obedience instead of requesting aid.

Note to self: Do not let the Taunka get their hands on the Cipher of Damnation.

Also: Out of eggs, swing by Eversong before hearthing.
