Elemental Plane of Fire
The Elemental Plane of Fire is the plane that contains the unbridled elemental energy of Fire and the origin of that element in the rest of the universe. Fire Elementals and Efreeti are born and live in the Plane of Fire as well as Fire Giants, Dragons and other fire spirits.
Elemental fire is pure flame that does not require air or fuel to burn and can take on a solid, liquid, or gaseous state, yet it will ignite and consume anything flammable and unprotected from fire.
Unlike the other three elemental planes, the Plane of Fire has normal gravity and a landscape, although most of the "ground" was made primarily of loosely packed elemental fire and feels like walking in a swamp of hot coals.
The whole realm is superheated above livable temperatures without protection and the air is often a toxic atmosphere that can immolate one from the inside. The rivers and oceans are filled with a more liquid fire in forms of magma and lava. Weather is hot and deadly. Rains of hot ash move about like thunderstorms, threatening those on or near the ground with hot embers and blinding ash. Clouds of superheated steam blow around the air, condensing scalding water crash down on exposed surfaces, the water then quickly evaporates and the cycle begins anew, and swirling tornadoes of flame cross across the land.
Notable Locations:
- The City of Brass. One famous refuge from the destructive heat is the City of Brass, home of the Efreet. At the will of the grand sultan, the city is protected from the pervasive smoke and flames, and visitors can enjoy unrestricted vision and uncomfortable yet tolerable temperatures, but walls and surfaces are still hot enough to burn unprotected flesh on contact. The city sits in a bowl of golden brass that floats over a huge disk of obsidian that is cracked from the heat. Architecture includes soaring towers, grand minarets, and everything from tool sheds to palaces made of brass. The city is famed for exotic trade and slavery, bringing travellers from all over the universe from the Nine Hells to the Abyss, though conflict is strictly banned within the walls.
