This is the basic history of the Lost Elders that should grant some insight as to what they are.
-----------------------------------------------------
Begin History
Back, during the Lost Elders' time, there was only one Elder for each Elemental Kingdom. The last Elders (or Lost Elders) were Steven (Fire, Male), Kyle (Earth, Male), Susan (Water, Female), and Kaitlin (Air, Female). Each of these Elders bore an Elemental Crystal. The Elemental Crystals were fragments of the Great Crystal--the home of the origin and power of the four Elements--that housed the power of the Elements and gave that power to a bearer, which then granted them the ability to assume leadership over each domain. Shortly after, however, each of the leaders, or Elders, wanted power for their own and began to wage war against each other. This began the Elemental War. The Elemental Kingdoms waged war against each other for a thousand years before Steven, Kyle, Susan, and Kaitlin completed their trials and assumed the throne.
At the age of 500 for the four new Elders, they set out, after discovering something significant about the Elemental Crystals, set out to claim the Great Crystal as their own. Each Elder met, unintentionally, with their armies at the center of the world, where the Great Crystal was located, and began the last battle that would occur in the Elemental War.
After the end of the Elemental War, during the last great battle (which I'll get to in the RP), those four Elders became "Lost". This happened because the Fire Elder, Steven lost control of the power of the Elemental Crystal he bore and created a giant inferno that killed the four armies and greatly wounded the other Elders and threatened to destroy the center of the world, so the Great Crystal created a barrier that squelched both the powers and memories of the Elders and imprisoned them in that scorched land, which was hidden from the outside world by the same barrier, for a thousand years.
About a decade after the battle, each kingdom gave in to despair and believed that their Elders had died in the inferno and from each kingdom two new Elders--a male and a female--took the throne and believed that they were truly the new Elders of those kingdoms. Every Elder after them were either by descendent or succession. However, since the four Lost Elders were still alive, their power and status never fully passed down to the new Elders, making them basically Stewarts. Therefore, since these Elders still claimed the throne, they possessed power that was beyond normal Elementalists, but never the full power of the true Elders. This is the equivalent power of what would normally be Rising Elders, which are now what the Lost Elders will refer the "current" Elders to be. The main reason why they did not possess the powers of the true Elders is because they did not pass the trials that were accustomed in each kingdom and claim the Elemental Crystal.
Once these Elders assumed the throne, grieved at the loss of their leaders, a meeting was held at a sacred garden, where a single flower grew with only four petals, each petal bearing the color of the four Elements and pointing to the kingdoms respectfully, surrounded by a circle of perfect stones and a statue built on the corners of the circle that lined up with the petals of the flower and the four kingdoms, each carved into the form of the sacred being that resembled each Elements. During this meeting, the eight Elders declared that the Elemental War should end and that peace should be brought between the four kingdoms. There, they built a great mansion, where a Great Ball that serves as a ceremony of peace was to be held every year to signify the end of the war. This mansion was held to the north of the Great Crystal, which became lost due to the barrier surrounding the scorched plains and the odd Elemental activity that occurred around the barrier created by the Crystal to prevent any outsiders from passing through the barrier in order to keep its location and the location of the raw power of the world hidden.
After the thousand years, of which the Lost Elders were imprisoned, unconscious, had past, the Great Crystal cast them out into the exile land of each of their respective kingdoms, then, shortly after, their sacred relics--ancient artifacts made of adamantine--, which the Great Crystal contained their memories in. After about a decade, these relics were found by the Elders that now ruled each kingdom and declared them as the sacred relics that the Old Elders bore when they had left for the great battle and placed them in their castles respectfully as the symbol of their kingdom.
The four Lost Elders still bear their Elemental Crystals, which have dimmed out and hold only a fraction of the power of the Elemental origin, but have no memories of their past lives. One by one, they have been naturally drawn to the sacred flower, but have become suspicious by the strange actives that occur at the mansion and begin to become upset and their old ways awakening.
Steven is the first to reclaim his memory, as his sword, which had the figure of a great Dragon carved into it, symbolizing the aspect of power, has been returned to him by the "current" Fire Elder, Peter, and is about to begin his trial to pass down his power to the two "current" Elders.
Kyle, Susan, and Kaitlin have yet to be reawakened and have yet to be introduced into the public. Kyle's relic is a ring, molded with a gem that was cut into the shape of the Earth Element's sacred being, symbolizing the aspect of strength. Susan's relic is a necklace, carved with the waves of the ocean and the Water Element's sacred being, symbolizing the aspect of wisdom. Kaitlin's relic is bow, imbedded with ancient gems into the shape of the Air Element's sacred being, symbolizing the aspect of courage. These three relics reside within their Element's castles respectfully and await the return of their owners.
End History
-----------------------------------------------------
Any Elders that assumed the throne after Steven, Kyle, Susan, and Kaitlin are random Elementalists that either took the throne by being a descendant of the current Elders or by succession, where they stepped down from their throne and allowed a newer, younger generation to take the throne. As it has only been a thousand years since the end of the Elemental War and the beginning of the Great Ball, there have been...let's say...seven Elders since the four Old Elders (this might require some slight age changes, as no Elder or Past Elder, other than the four Lost Elders, should be more than 800 years old, as it would mess up the lore somewhat, but no other changes would be necessary). No Elders that have assumed the throne after the four Old Elders are in any way related to the Lost Elders. [Note: the "Old Elders" and the "Lost Elders" are the same people.]
