Category:The Inner Planes

These are the rings of the elements, the building matter of the Prime Material Plane. There are - you guessed it - three categories within the Inner Planes: the major elementals, the paraelementals, and the quasielementals.

The Elemental Planes consist of six dominant universes: Fire, Air, Earth, Water, Positive Energy, and Negative Energy. Where these forms meet are the Paraelemental and Quasielemental Planes. The Paraelemental Planes exist where Earth, Air, Fire, and Water merge into each other. The Quasielemental Planes are created at the borders of the Positive and Negative Planes, between the basic elements of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water.

It’s best to describe the Elemental Planes as extremely “single-minded.” Each plane is based around its particular element, to the near exclusion of all else - the plane of Fire is filled with fire and creatures of flame, the plane of Earth is filled with earth and rocklike beings, and so on. For most primes and planars, travel and survival on the Elemental Planes ain’t easy.

Note: The Inner Planes originally appeared in this form in the Planescape AD&D campaign setting from TSR. Their use here is for the purposes of providing context for the campaign only.
