^Just to be clear on some things...
I don't know why the East is associated with Wind. I think there is the Japanese sword in KF2 and maybe KF3 too? That may have Wind magic.
Regardless. Just like all of the peoples are half-breeds, there is no strict division of elements by region. Even the Earth Dragons breath fire, and stuff like that. Seath has all magics even though he is an Earth dragon.
When I say Wind is in the East etc. That refers mainly to the period of the Dragon Kings (and Knights) which goes way back. Each king was seated in one corner of the continent, possibly installed by dragons or gods. And that period of high magic influenced the geography and division of the races.
That's why there are races with distinct characteristics, languages, and habitats to this day anyway, despite all of the interbreeding.
PS: It's on page 2 or something. But the Dragon Kings are a setup for game V. Basically there are giant crystals in the four corners of the continents. Only the Dark Slayer can open the doors to them. And it can find them like a compass. You must visit each one to rekindle the Dark Slayer. The Dark Slayer itself is the Dark Crystal, which was originally a portable key linking the four crystals of the four kingdoms held by the king of the kings whose throne was somewhere beneath the cemetery in KF1.
You also needed the Dark Crystal to visit one of the larger crystals. So that it was like a key (presumably the gods arranged for all of that)
