Elemental Planes

There are six Elemental Planes: the Plane of Fire, the Plane of Water, the Plane of Earth, the Plane of Air, the Plane of Electricity, and the Plane of Aether.

In addition to the presence of elements within Elanthia and the natural cycles by which these elements are continually replenished, these Elemental Planes -- areas of existence which are made up entirely of one specific element (ie a realm of existence where nothing save fire does exist) also serve as an additional source of elemental energy, seeping through the barriers between the planes to add additional power to the Plane of Abiding.

Elementals are the natural inhabitants of these planes; living beings existing with no components outside of one or more types of pure element.

The Zaulfung Stones and the Suur Pillar are among the best examples linking the Elemental Planes to ours.

Plane of Aether

Familiar's vision:

As if viewing the world through a frosty window, your mind is filled with blurred visions of a misty, foggy, distorted land.

Moon Mage cosmology depicts the Plane of Aether as a spiral of mirror-like material:

You see a multi-armed golden spiral made out of ten twisting lines of mirrored glass. The spiral is wreathed in white light, making it impossible to detect fine details.

Plane of Earth

Familiar's vision:

Occasional specks of sparkling brilliance break the monotony of the dusty, rock-filled tunnel which you see in your mind's eye.

Moon Mage cosmology depicts the Plane of Earth as a pitted brown cube:

You see a brown cube riddled with dark fissures and craters. While the cube revolves slowly on its vertical axis, its surfaces are barren and deathly still. You feel an odd sense of weight as you look upon the cube.

Plane of Water

Familiar's vision:

Rippling images of deep blue fill your mind, as if you were looking at the world from a bottomless sea.

Moon Mage cosmology depicts the Plane of Water as a shimmering blue icosahedron:

You see a deep blue icosahedron in the distance, each of its twenty triangular faces rippling with waves. Though the surface of the icosahedron seems to be constantly moving, the sharp edges and precise lines remain intact. You feel something odd shifting through you as you look upon the object.

Plane of Air

Familiar's vision:

Scenes of an endless sky filled with huge, floating structures pass quickly through your mind.

Moon Mage cosmology depicts the Plane of Air as a nearly transparent octahedron:

You can barely see an octahedron outlined by rushing currents of air. The octahedron appears to be solid rather than wire-frame, but the transparent quality of its construction makes it impossible to view fine details. You feel an odd rushing sensation through your body as you look upon the object.

Plane of Fire

Familiar's vision:

A smoke-filled sky over a vast lake of fire is all you can discern from the harsh images flooding your mind.

Moon Mage cosmology depicts the Plane of Fire as a brilliant red pyramid:

You can easily make out a pyramid of flames, bright and vivid with its immolation. Though there is no obvious fuel or air to sustain the pyramid, its fire seems to burn perpetually. You feel an odd vigor in your limbs as you look upon the object.

Plane of Electricity

Familiar's vision:

You see visions of multicolored lightning arcing across a land filled with structures composed of pure energy.

Moon Mage cosmology depicts the Plane of Electricity as a lurid green dodecahedron:

You can easily make out a dodecahedron of green light, shifting and blazing almost as though it is alive. While every face of the dodecahedron throws up that irregular green light, beneath the nimbus you can barely make out perfectly rigid lines and corners. You feel an odd tingling sensation spread through your chest as you look upon the object.
