Editing Planes of Existence (section)

=== The Planes & The Primordials ===
Each plane has a primordial who rules it. These primordials are essentially titans who fused with the element of the plane and came to embody it.

==== Plane of Air ====
A blue sky of limitless air. Those without wings or the ability to fly or levitate will feel as though they are constantly falling at terminal velocity—because they are. Djinn and other creatures create cities and homes floating on clouds, and the winged aarakocra, as well as the Sky Elves, call this plane home.

===== Parvata Sultanate =====
A large country in the Plane of Air.

'''Primordial:''' Aeras, the Four Winds

Aeras is the weakest of the greater primordials, though her fury is only beaten by Nero. She was chained to the Unbreakable Rock using Gi’s severed hands. 

==== Plane of Lightning ====
Where Air and Positive Energy meet. A plane of constant crackling static energy that coalesces into enormous arcing lightning bolts of blue and purple that vaporize creatures within the planes.

Primordial: Astrapi, the Charged One

Astrapi is a raucous primordial whose constant electric charge destroys anything in its path. She was chained to an impossibly long metal pole which was hurled into the Chaos by the gods, sticking deep into the Swirling Gemstone.

==== Plane of Vacuum ====
Where Air and Negative Energy meet. Vacuum is a plane of literally nothing. One step above the Negative Energy Plane, it doesn’t actively sap your life force, but it doesn’t have any air, either. It is a plane of void, a remnant of the original pre-world world.

Primordial: Keno, the Void

Keno is considered the daughter of Arnitikos, and, like her father, is depicted as being the plane itself, rather than an aspect of the plane made physical. It is said that she once ruled the Space Between Worlds before the gods created the Weave. Keno was imprisoned in the Maelstrom, a never ending storm of raw elemental matter which continually fills her void.

==== Plane of Ice ====
Between the plane of air and water is the plane of ice, a massive ice plain that stretches on for eternity. The plain is buffeted by intense winds on one side and tsunami-size waves on the other. Underneath, the ice stretches on for eternity, with enormous ice caverns carved out by creatures.

Primordial: Pagos, the Frozen One

Pagos wandered the ice plain in search of creatures who sought to melt his home. He was imprisoned in the Halls of Fire, a labyrinth deep in the Chaos, forced to constantly move or be melted forever.

==== Plane of Water ====
An endless sea with no seeming surface, teeming with strange aquatic creatures. The amphibious Sea Elves are from here as well.

Primordial: Nero, the Squall

Nero is often depicted as a gargantuan aquatic creature, usually a whale or a squid. They were imprisoned in the Well of Salt, which sucked all of the water out of them, leaving them dessicated. Nero is the second most powerful of the greater primordials.

==== Plane of Steam ====
Where Water and Positive Energy meet. A hot, stuffy plane of endless, impenetrable steam with no sense of gravity. Like floating in a steam room forever.

Primordial: Atmos, the Vapored One

Atmos is little more than the steam of his plane personified. He was chained with Kapnos, their bodies used to chain each other, and the two were thrown into the Great Conflagration to burn away into nothing.

==== Plane of Salt ====
Where Water and Negative Energy meet. A dry plane of rolling salt hills. There is no air, only rolling clouds of salt that will cut up your lungs. Mortals unaccustomed to the plane are constantly thirsty.

Primordial: Alas, the Dessicator

Alas is a towering creature composed entirely of salt. They were imprisoned in a bubble of water, which was hurled into the Chaos.

==== Plane of Ooze ====
Where Water and Earth meet, an unending swamp of roiling muck and mire. Without special footwear mortals within constantly sink. Enormous trees made out of ooze drip into the muck. The air is acrid and tough to breathe.

Primordial: Laspi, the Wandering Muck

Laspi basically looks like a muck monster. They were chained inside the Whirling Dervish, a constant tornado which slowly blows them apart.

==== Plane of Earth ====
Rock. Nothing but rock and earth, it is very dangerous to enter this plane unless you know exactly where you are going, or you have the ability to burrow. Caverns exist, usually made by creatures, but there is no natural air or water so it’s nearly impossible to live there.

Primordial: Gi, the Ever Stoic

Gi is the most powerful greater primordial and often referred to as the king of the primordials. He was thrown into the Maelstrom to be eroded into nothing, with his hands and feet bound and his mouth gagged.

==== Plane of Minerals ====
Where Earth and Positive Energy meet. This plane feels almost exactly like the Plane of Earth except that the rock is riddled with minerals, ores, and precious gems. Many of these veins are guarded by powerful creatures. There are larger caverns here, created long ago by greedy creatures looking to take minerals. Toward the end of the plane the minerals merge, creating enormous, miles-wide ores of gold, platinum, and chunks of precious gems.

Primordial: Orykto, the Resplendent

Orykto is a primordial composed entirely of gemstones and ores of precious metal. She is very vain and haughty. The gods imprisoned her in the Basin of Grime, a large bowl full of dust, smoke, and ash, which they submerged her in, forever tarnishing her shine.

==== Plane of Dust ====
Where Earth and Negative Energy meet. A plane of gritty sand and dust that gets everywhere and eventually chokes mortals. The air is impossible to breathe due to dust getting in the lungs, and creatures that arrive from the plane seem to be permanently covered by a thin layer of dust. (Like Pigpen!)

Primordial: Skoni, the Grimy One

Skoni is a being made out of dust and grime. They were chained to the Radiant Rock, forced to stare at the radiance for eternity.

==== Plane of Magma ====
Where Earth and Fire meet. This is another one of those insta-death planes unless you know of a civilization that exists there. It is nothing but liquid hot magma, with small, magically cooled spots encased in magma crusts. There is no surface or bottom. It’s all magma, baby.

Primordial: Kviku, the Boiling

Kviku is a terrifying primordial creature composed of rolling magma. He was easily imprisoned in a block from the Ice Plane and hurled deep into the Chaos.

==== Plane of Fire ====
A sweltering, fiery landscape. Best known for the City of Brass. The plane includes towering volcanoes, roaring fires, and extremely hot temperatures. The air is superheated and nonmagical materials tend to set themselves on fire for no reason.

Primordial: Fotia, the Ever Burning

Fotia is a radiant flame that scorches anything she touches. She is the third most powerful greater primordial and arguably the most capable of dealing tremendous amounts of damage to objects. She is known for being Gi’s partner due to him being able to withstand her fiery temper. She was chained underneath the Waterfall to be continually doused forever.

==== Plane of Radiance ====
Where Fire and Positive Energy meet. A brilliantly bright and colorful plane, it would blind any mortal who entered it within seconds. It is considered a “plane of beauty” as well. I like to think of it as a continual plane of Lisa Frank.

Primordial: Lampsi, The Beacon

Lampsi is Orykto’s lover and is just supremely gorgeous, to the point that she is impossible to look at without going blind. She was also placed in the Basin of Grime, which significantly dulled her appearance.

==== Plane of Ash ====
Where Fire and Negative Energy meet. A hot, dry plane of constantly raining ash, blustery winds, and wide plains of sinking ash. Like the Plane of Ooze, but without water.

Primordial: Stakti, the Fluttering

Stakti is a primordial made of ash, which continually flakes off of her. She was simply submerged in the Plane of Water, which caused her to dissolve into the water itself.

==== Plane of Smoke ====
The commingling of Fire and Air. A plane of continually roiling hot black and gray smoke. With no air, the Plane of Smoke would suffocate or burn the lungs almost immediately.

Primordial: Kapnos, the Hidden Heat

Kapnos was chained to Atmos and thrown into the Great Conflagration.

==== Positive Energy Plane ====
A plane of yellowish white energy. It is believed that all healing magics borrow from this plane, as traveling to it will instantly heal any ailment or injury you have. However, its healing power is so strong that it will imbue creatures with healing and benefits beyond what their mortal bodies can stand, which usually causes them to explode in a shower of golden sparks that are suffused back into the plane.

Primordial: Thetikos, or Syntropy

Thetikos, like her brother Arnitikos, are still alive and rulers of their realms; Thetikos’ energy was used by the gods to heal their wounds and create Divinity. She is not imprisoned, as she is the Positive Energy Plane. She has merged with it.

==== Negative Energy Plane ====
The opposite of that. A dark purple world which saps the energy from anything that enters it. Mortals that enter the Negative Energy Plane quickly find their very essence being sucked out into the plane, until their body and soul becomes part of the entropy itself.

Primordial: Arnitikos, or Entropy

Arnitikos is the great villain to the gods, and the whole reason why the primordials were chained or imprisoned within the Elemental Chaos. No matter what, the Arbiters could not get close enough to Entropy to stop or imprison him, as the closer they came, the more they dissolved into nothing. Thus, Entropy is the only primordial who was not captured by the gods and freely reigns in his realm.
