Elemental Logic	comment	Elemental Logic is a tetralogy written by American fantasy author Laurie J. Marks. It is a Low Fantasy series set in the land of Shaftal, whose citizens are left without a spiritual leader after Harald G'deon, earth witch of the ruling House of Lilterwess, dies, apparently without vesting a successor with his power. Without a G'deon, and with the House of Lilterwess toppled in a single night, Shaftal is left at the mercy of the invading Sainnites, descending into poverty and a state of constant guerrilla warfare.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The central players include Zanja na'Tarwein, a tribal warrior woman whose clan was destroyed by the Sainnites; Karis, a half-giant metalsmith who possesses powerful healing abilities but has long been addicted to a drug that slowly but surely kills its users; and Emil Paladin, a scholar who finds himself leader of a company of Shaftali rebels.A character-driven fantasy series, Elemental Logic is particularly notable for its prominent LGBT themes (the first two novels both won the Gaylactic Spectrum Award) and its presentation of a fantasy setting in which men and women are equally likely to be farmers or soldiers, healers or craftsmen.Books in the series include: Fire Logic (2002) Earth Logic (2004) Water Logic (2007) Air Logic (2019)

Elemental Logic / int_a3f6fcb0	comment	Action Mom: Norina in the later books; Zanja and Karis might also count, since by Shaftali custom all the adults in a household are considered the children's parents.

Elemental Logic / int_dae5c997	type	Action Girl
Elemental Logic / int_dae5c997	comment	Action Girl: Zanja na'Tarwein, katrim of the Ashawala'i. Interestingly enough, Karis, despite her great size and muscular build, is a healer, and rarely fights — but she can certainly hold her own when she does. The series is notable, however, for avoiding the Double Standard inherent in both this trope and Non-Action Guy, as pretty much any occupation one can think of is equal-opportunity and one never sees the "She's a soldier and also a woman OMG!" attitude found in other series.
