Inner Planar Region

In the multiverse, nestled around the Central Planar Region lies the ancient and foundational Inner Planar Region. This region, older than all other parts of the multiverse, is the primeval crucible from which everything was molded. Its existence predates the rest of the cosmology, and it is here that the basic elements and energies for the rest of the planes continue to be provided, maintaining the very fabric of creation.

The Inner Planar Region is not just a collection of elemental forces but a vast and intricate tapestry of existence, woven from the very fabric of primal energies. Beyond the six major planes, each representing the purest form of an elemental or energy type, there are a larger quantity of planes that represent the primal combination of two elements, or an element and an energy type. But even beyond those, there lies an almost infinite expanse of demiplanes, that are the result of the complex interplay and fusion of the primary elemental and energy forces, creating a rich and ever-changing landscape of possibilities.

Imagine the Inner Planar Region as an artist's palette, where the primary colors are the major planes, vibrant and distinct. But just as an artist mixes colors to create new hues and shades, the forces within this region blend and merge to form demiplanes, each unique in its composition and character. These demiplanes are not mere offshoots but full-fledged realms in their own right, each harboring its own mysteries, inhabitants, and laws of nature.

The Inner Planar Region, with its major planes and countless demiplanes, represents the raw potential of creation, where the boundaries of reality are not just pushed but completely reimagined. It's a place where the very essence of existence is woven, unwoven, and rewoven, offering endless possibilities for exploration, adventure, and discovery.

The Energy Planes

The Energy Planes embody the fundamental forces of creation and destruction. The Positive Energy Plane is a radiant, life-giving realm, essential to the vitality of living beings but overwhelming in its unchecked abundance. In stark contrast, the Negative Energy Plane emanates entropic darkness, a void where life withers, representing the ultimate end of all existence. These planes are not merely sources of raw energy but are complex environments, teeming with unique phenomena and entities, pivotal in the balance and cycle of cosmic life and death.

There are two Energy Planes:

• The Positive Energy Plane: This realm is a brilliant tapestry of light and vitality, where every breath is imbued with the potential for growth and rejuvenation. The Positive Energy Plane is the wellspring of life, a boundless source of healing and renewal. Its luminescent landscapes are awe-inspiring, yet dangerously overwhelming, for the unbridled life force that pervades this plane can invigorate as swiftly as it can obliterate, granting life in abundance or causing life to burgeon into unchecked, rampant growth.
• The Negative Energy Plane: A realm of entropy and dissolution, where shadows reign over a void of desolation and decay. This plane is the antithesis of life, a domain where the very essence of existence is unraveled and consumed. It is a place of eerie tranquility and inexorable decline, where the absence of life and light is not merely a void but a tangible force. The Negative Energy Plane holds the chilling allure of the ultimate end, wielding the power to erode, exhaust, and extinguish.

The Elemental Planes

The Elemental Planes represent the primal forces of nature. Each plane, Fire, Water, Earth, and Air, exemplifies an elemental essence in its purest form, creating environments of extreme conditions. The Plane of Fire burns with endless infernos, the Water Plane encompasses vast, unexplored oceans, the Earth Plane is a realm of endless caverns, and the Air Plane is an open sky with floating islands. These planes are not only sources of elemental magic but also home to diverse elemental beings, shaping the fundamental nature of the universe.

There are four elemental planes:

• The Elemental Plane of Fire: An expanse of unceasing conflagration and fiery life force. It's a domain where the ground crackles with the warmth of embers and the air vibrates with the heat of a thousand suns. Here, fire is not destruction but a dynamic artist, sculpting the landscape with flames that dance to the rhythm of creation and transformation. Inhabitants of this realm are as resilient and spirited as the flames that surround them, living embodiments of the plane's fierce energy and indomitable will.
• The Elemental Plane of Earth: A bastion of solidity and endurance, a realm where every grain of soil and shard of mineral resonates with the essence of stability. It's a landscape of eternal rock, ore and endless caverns, where the concept of change is measured in millennia rather than moments. The inhabitants of this plane are embodiments of endurance and strength, as steadfast and unyielding as the ground beneath their feet.
• The Elemental Plane of Water: A realm of fluidity and depth, where the currents carry the secrets of the unknown and the rhythm of the tides echoes the pulse of the cosmos. This plane is a world of infinite shades of blue, where every wave is a melody and every ripple a whisper. The beings that dwell within this ever-changing seascape are as enigmatic and adaptable as the water that cradles them.
• The Elemental Plane of Air: A boundless sky, an expanse of freedom where the winds dance with the currents of possibility. This realm is an ever-shifting spectacle of clouds and storms, serene breezes, and furious gales. In this domain, the essence of movement and change is palpable, with each gust holding the breath of adventure and the whispers of distant lands. The inhabitants of this plane are as free-spirited and elusive as the wind itself, moving with grace and purpose in the boundless blue. The Plane of Air is a domain where the horizon is unending, and the sky is the canvas for the dreams of those bold enough to soar.

The Paraelemental Planes

The Paraelemental Planes arise from the fusion of two Elemental Planes, creating unique and complex environments. These planes, Smoke, Magma, Steam, Mud, Sand and Ice, blend the characteristics of their parent elements, resulting in diverse and often volatile realms. These hybrid planes host a variety of creatures and phenomena, embodying the merging of elemental forces, and play a crucial role in the ecological balance of the universe. These planes have their Elemental dominance lessened.

There are six Paraelemental Planes:

• The Paraelemental Plane of Mud:
• The Paraelemental Plane of Sand:
• The Paraelemental Plane of Magma:
• The Paraelemental Plane of Ice:
• The Paraelemental Plane of Steam:
• The Paraelemental Plane of Smoke:
