> Conjurers by the very nature of their studies pretty much put their focus on everything but Nature. All of their magic deals with contacting the other planes in order to bargain with foreign (though possibly incomprehensible) intelligences. Given that the Sylvan Warders tend to focus on Nature in the Material Realms (Thera) and would most likely abhor dealing with Demons, Devils, and Nightgaunts, I don't really see then as a good match for Conjurers.

On the other hand, the beings they may be bargaining with could be "the last of their kind" on a world not unlike Thera...which once was rich with forests and natural..stuff. So they wish to help keep the same from happening to Thera, and they do so by coming when the conjurer beckons.

Elementals are easy - they are simply awakened chunks of the elements of nature. They were already there, the conjurer merely awakened them to serve to protect their realm.

I agree with you - demons and devils and nightgaunts may be out of the question, but angels and possibly archons are not that hard to imagine.
