Isle de Fira

The Everlasting Flame

Isle de Fira, a small pocket of the Elemental Plane of Fire that is the outermost of the elemental planes, encircling the other planes and bordering to the Astral Planes below. It is a realm of vast, liquid oceans of flame, charred cinderlands, and flowing rivers of magma.

Geography

Of all the elemental planes, the Plane of Fire is generally the most hostile to mortal life. It is a landscape of white hot heat, with rivers and seas of fire, lava and molten metal, mountains of compacted ash, and burning skies filled with smoke and curtains of flame.

Localized Phenomena

The Plane of Fire had normal gravity and a landscape, although most of the "ground" was made primarily of loosely packed elemental fire and felt like walking in a swamp of hot coals. The rivers and oceans were filled with a more liquid version of the same stuff and swimming worked normally as a mode of transportation.    Non-native flying creatures found the atmosphere thin and therefore did not have their usual speed or maneuverability.    Visibility was hampered by the smoke coming off the flames engulfing, but not consuming, nearly every solid, liquid, or gas (and creature) on the plane. What one could see was usually distorted by heat ripples.    Geographic features such as hills, mountains, and cliffs did not have a geologic lifespan because even the more solid areas slowly moved like a subterranean magma flow as seen on the Prime Material Plane. Permanent physical structures were very rare

Climate

If the Plane of Fire had weather, it was of course hot and deadly. Rains of hot ash moved about like thunderstorms, threatening those on or near the ground with hot embers and blinding ash. Those in the air had to watch out for clouds of superheated steam blowing around and condensing scalding water on exposed surfaces. The water quickly evaporated and the cycle began anew.

Fauna & Flora

Surprisingly many creatures could tolerate and even thrive in the Isle de Fira. First and foremost were the fire elementals, of course, being constructed directly from the substance of the plane itself. They could assume the form of animals or monsters from the Material Plane, mimic humanoid shape, or create composites with elemental shapes: a lava lion with a flaming mane and charcoal eyes, or a man-shaped torso with fire jets for arms and legs and a tiny tornado of flame for a head, for example.    Fire elementals could usually be distinguished by the different colours of flame coming off their bodies, but when standing still they could blend into the background just as a rogue could hide in shadows. Fire bats, fire snakes, harginn, phantom stalkers, and salamanders were also thought to be natives of this plane, but the origins of magmen (or magmin) and the azer were hotly debated.  

Inhabitants

  Visitors and immigrants to the Plane of Fire included brass and gold dragons; the efreet; fire giants; hell hounds; some janni; mephits of the fire, magma, and steam varieties; pyrohydra;rast; and thoqqua.    Trading missions and diplomacy brought many peoples to the City of Brass, such as the mercane and devils from the Nine Hells.   The language spoken by the natives was called Ignan and it resembled the hisses and clicks of green wood being consumed by a burning campfire.

Tourism

The City of Brass is one of the most well-known settlements known in the Elemental Plane of Fire however due to this only been a small pocket of that wonderful world. An alternative small town has been constructed known as the Town of Chromium which floats just above the rivers of flame, it is the easier location for outsiders wanting to visit the plane to gather information and conduct business. Currently Ymeri the Ruler of the Elemental Plane is protecting and watching over this pocket and is seen as the ruler with a Efreet ruler by the name of Sultan Khalide, who is the Lord of the Flame within the Town.   Notable Locations:    
  • The dangers of the plane could not be overstated, but those that survived the trip saw wonders and beauty at nearly every turn. 
  • Flame colors spanned the rainbow, from the vermilion of a forge hearth to the yellow-white of heated iron, from the blues and greens of alchemical reactions to the familiar candle-flame yellows and oranges. 
  • The conflagration formed fountains, jets, sheets, rivers, waves, walls, rains, cascades, clouds, swirls, and pits of brilliant incandescence on a scale found nowhere else
