Elemental Planes
Allegiances
In Everinstar:
- AIR has been highly subdued (no wind beyond that forced by geographical features). The Air gate in Emras may be closed or blocked?
- WATER is highly active but only in combination with EARTH - there has been little to no rain
- EARTH is hard to distinguish because it is always commonplace but we have been attacked by EARTH-aligned monsters, suggesting active elemental power
- FIRE has not yet been visible on the Prime and it will be weakened if AIR is weakened. FIRE may actually be the motivation for weakening AIR.
Depiction of the Inner Planes from the Manual of the Planes:
The Core Elemental Planes (Inner Planes):
These four planes are the foundational realms of pure elemental essence.
Elemental Plane of Air: An endless sky with floating islands.
Elemental Plane of Earth: A realm of infinite caves and tunnels.
Elemental Plane of Fire: A blazing expanse with lava rivers.
Elemental Plane of Water: A vast, deep ocean.
The Para-elemental Planes - where two elemental planes meet:
Ice: Air + Water
Magma: Fire + Earth
Ooze: Earth + Water
Smoke: Air + Fire
The Energy Planes
These planes are sources of creation and decay, bordering the elemental planes:
Positive Energy Plane: The source of life and creation.
Negative Energy Plane: The source of entropy and decay.
The Quasi-Elemental Planes - where an elemental plane touches an energy plane:
Positive Energy Side:
Lightning: Air + Positive Energy
Mineral: Earth + Positive Energy
Radiance: Fire + Positive Energy
Steam: Water + Positive Energy
Negative Energy Side:
Ash: Fire + Negative Energy
Dust: Earth + Negative Energy
Salt: Water + Negative Energy
Vacuum: Air + Negative Energy
