Circling the prime are realms where natural life is abundant, even the opposite is present too! This is the circle of the Inner Planes. Looping forms of elements dancing endlessly, the fabric of natural matter locked in a glorious display. So, why not explore them? A novel idea, and what better host for such an adventure? If I do say so, myself. Follow my mad scribblings and even madder musings as we quest to see the workings of the Inner Planes, uncovering many secrets and hidden goodies along the way.
A word of warning, many of the inner planes are truly primal. You feared the forces of the Outer Planes, but many of these are broken into base primordial essences. And no, I don’t mean like Primordium; such a strange place is still rather dangerous in its own right. I talk of the place that gave the inspiration to build Primordium in the first place! It’s amazing how something so simple can be so awe inducing. To me, those are the Elemental Planes. Let us not dally. Admittedly, my venture to the Upper Planes lasted quite a while, the better part of many primer yearly calendars. So, do stay close and protect yourself against the correct force, one of many elemental vortexes are just a jump away!
Author’s Note: Before we continue, because I don’t say it enough, a big thanks to Todd Stewart for being a huge inspiration. His work in pathfinder’s planar content gets a nod from me partially because of it! While I doubt I’ll ever really jump back to Paizo, I can appreciate the work the some of the people over there are doing. Besides, I’m more so feeling Cyberpunk 2020 or one of many other seemingly relevant dystopian games for this day and age… Anyway, jokes and other topics aside, the Inner Planes always felt like they needed more to them. The Inner Planes book itself jokes about this while giving some neat suggestions, but I want to add my own touch. Hell, it calls out the people who aren’t imaginative enough to make those planes work. I’ve seen too many silly complaints about the Inner Planes too, in part because it puts your mind in a challenge… Anyway, here are the results of my own elemental plane challenge. Well, part of them. I have much more where this came from!
