the inner planes | Landscape Fantasy Art | CharGen

The Inner planes are the six major elemental planes (Fire, Earth, Water, Air, Positive Energy, Negative Energy), the four para-elemental planes (Smoke, Ice, Ooze, Magma), and the eight quasi-elemental planes (Lightning, Steam, Radiance, Minerals, Vacuum, Salt, Ash, Dust). They could be thought of as being on the surface of a sphere with Positive Energy at the north pole, Negative Energy at the south pole and Fire, Earth, Water, and Air on the equator, equidistant from each other. The para-elemental planes were found on the equator between the boundaries of Fire, Earth, Water and Air (Magma was between Fire and Earth, for example). Four of the quasi-elemental planes are found between the boundaries of Positive Energy and the four elements (Steam is between Positive Energy and Water, for example). And the other four quasi-elemental planes are between Negative Energy and the four elements (Vacuum is between Negative Energy and Air, for example). The Inner planes are surrounded by the Ethereal planes, which connected them to the Prime Material planes.
