The Inner Planes
The Inner Planes are the primal sources of reality, composed of pure elemental and energetic forces that shape the multiverse. They consist of six major planes: Air, Earth, Fire, Water, and the two Energy Planes — Positive and Negative. These realms are raw and often inhospitable, yet vital to the existence and balance of the Prime Material Plane.
Between and around these core planes lie twelve transitional realms: the Para-Elemental Planes, where elements merge (like Ice or Magma), and the Quasi-Elemental Planes, where matter meets pure energy (such as Lightning or Ash). Together, these eighteen planes form a cosmological framework often visualized as a sphere, with elemental planes forming the sides, energy planes at the poles, and unstable hybrids at the seams. Despite their vast diversity, all Inner Planes are ultimately hostile to mortals — growing more dangerous the deeper one ventures toward their elemental cores, where all form begins to unravel into Elemental Chaos.

The Elemental Planes
The Elemental Planes are realms of pure substance — vast, untamed expanses where each of the four classical elements exists in its raw, unfiltered form. Unlike the blended matter of the Prime Material Plane, these worlds are shaped entirely by...
The Energy Planes
Often referred to as the “empty planes,” the Energy Planes are realms of pure, undiluted force — not composed of matter, but of radiant potential. The Positive Energy Plane brims with blinding vitality, the wellspring of life and creation, while...
The Para-Elemental Planes
The Para-Elemental Planes are the turbulent borderlands where the four core elements bleed into one another. Formed at the intersections of the Elemental Planes, these realms are not stable mixtures but primordial clashes—volatile domains shaped by the friction, fusion, and...
The Quasi-Elemental Planes
The Quasi-Elemental Planes arise where the elemental meets the energetic — transitional realms formed at the borders between the Elemental Planes and the Positive or Negative Energy Planes. Each quasi-element embodies a state of extremity, shaped not by balance but...
