The Elemental Plane of Earth

The Elemental Plane of Earth is a realm of infinite solidity that exists within the Inner Planar Region. It is a vast expanse of ever-shifting rock, soil, and stone. Its landscape is in constant motion, reshaping itself in a slow, relentless dance. This dynamic environment varies in density, from areas of relatively soft soil to regions rich in heavier and more valuable metals. The plane's wealth in minerals and precious ores makes it a coveted destination for adventurers and miners, particularly attracting humanoid races like dwarves, known for their skill in delving and mining.

Despite its riches, the Plane of Earth is fraught with danger. The constant movement of the landmass creates pockets and caves that, while providing habitat for native creatures and spaces for miners, can also become deadly traps. Explorers risk being entombed in these shifting caverns or crushed in sudden cave-ins. The plane's peril is more subtle compared to the overt threats of the Plane of Fire or the energy planes, lying in the unpredictability of its ever-changing topography.

Inhabitants of this plane include a variety of life forms, both native and immigrant. Earth elementals, xorn, and dao reflect the essence of the plane's nature, while bulettes prey upon the unwary, adding a layer of danger to the already treacherous terrain. Dwarven communities carve out their existence here, mining the rich veins of ore and navigating the plane's challenges with their innate resilience and expertise.
