According to Jennifer Bullard's development documents, they joined the [[Rampart]] armies after the [[Dwarves]] joined [[Bracada]] and the [[Centaur|Centaurs]] started complaining about 'tree-hugging wimpy druids' and left too. It should be also mentioned that the [[Conflux]] was disbanded at that time, having fulfilled its scope given by the [[Ancients]], which was to get rid of the [[Kreegan|Kreegans]] on [[Antagarich]], the Pixies/Sprites and [[Phoenix|Phoenixes]] not wanting to return to the [[Elemental Planes]]. | |||

Pixies and sprites are useful first level creatures. Despite their very low health and defense, Sprites are the fastest first level creatures in the game, and their ability to strike without retaliation is very important. They can be a key attacker in early battles for the conflux until [[Ice Elemental]]s and [[Storm Elemental]]s join the ranks. | |||
