Elemental Plane

The Elemental Planes, pictured in the upper left of a map of the Great Beyond's planes.

The term Elemental Plane refers to the planes of elemental air, wood, water, metal, earth, and fire located within the Inner Sphere of the Great Beyond. They are formed of raw fundamental matter which serves as the physical building blocks for the Universe and most demiplanes.

For millennia, only the existence of four Elemental Planes was known—the Planes of Air, Water, Earth, and Fire—until as of 4723 AR, the long-forgotten Plane of Metal and Plane of Wood recently re-emerged.

Creation myths

Genies and other elementals believe that the Elemental Planes existed before the birth of the Universe. Eventually, the Elemental Planes mixed with Creation's Forge, and the latter's life-giving positive energies helped create the Universe. Many scholars believe that, within this myth, there is some element of truth as to the real historical facts.
