"Whatever ye do, don't look down"
- Rurik Opalhammer, Horizonwalker
The Elemental Plane of Air was the domain of the Elder Elemental Caeli. This Plane is essentially completely filled with air but has various impurities that tended to form pockets or bubbles in the otherwise pure atmosphere. Gaseous bubbles include clouds of every type, fog, steam, mist, smoke, poisonous clouds and acidic vapors; also the rare intrusion of elemental fire which is flame without fuel. Liquid impurities are usually water or water-based and tend to form floating spheres when not buffeted or frozen by the winds. Solid matter can be found here, from dust, ash, salt, or sand, to chunks of earth approaching the size of a large asteroid. The larger chunks are often brought into the plane by intelligent beings and are very likely to be inhabited or formerly inhabited.
The Elemental Plane of Air can be reached via an adjacent elemental plane, through the Ethereal Plane, or by an elemental vortex. If travelling through the Deep Ethereal, a blue curtain of vaporous colour indicates the boundary of the Plane of Air's Border Ethereal region. Elemental vortices can occur wherever a high concentration or nearly pure form of an element is found, and can be temporary or permanent. A vortex to the Plane of Air could manifest in the eye of a hurricane or in the clean, crisp air atop a high mountain, for example.There is a vortex to the Elemental Plane of Water called the Waterspout not far from the City of Glass. Temporary planar gates may also be created by those with with the knowledge to do so.
