Elemental Plane of Fire
Ervenian Era, 1051 AB
It is a plane continually ablaze. It smells of burning flesh and ashen dreams. It is flame incarnate.Fire in the Elemental Plane of Fire is landscape: dunes of ember and cinder that flow like water, basalt mesas sweating heat, and rivers of molten rock whose skin wrinkles into incandescent scales before sloughing away. The ground has weight but no mercy, ash squelches, clinker fields slither, and glass plains waver with heat mirage. From caldera to caldera, firefalls pour like liquid dawn, hurling sheets of flame into incandescent basins that steam into burning cloud. Weather is a choreography of hazard: scalding steam fronts roll in from nowhere, ash squalls drop like hot, dark rain, and pyroclastic surges chase their own shadows. Wander long and you’ll taste the borders, smoke thickens to choking tar where Air leans in, magma folds back to rock at Earth’s grasp, radiance outshines heat until colors sear white, and, in dead zones, everything collapses to sooty ash. Against this, islands of intent endure: brass domes, obsidian ziggurats, and salamander forges cooled by chained fire elementals.
Customs
Coal Bargains
Efreeti Oaths sealed by pressing a coal to the tongue—no mark means the pact holds. First Heat (Azer): Anvils are “awakened” with oil, name, and three sparks; only then may they forge oaths. Quench Rite (Salamanders): A new weapon earns a name when hissed through brine without cracking.Geography

Red Ethereal curtains open to Border Fire. Vortices burn in volcanic calderas, magma vents, and firefalls; a high-ash ridge links to Air. Borders grade into Smoke, Magma, Radiance, and Ash. Travelers rely on heat wards, fireproof hulls, and the protection of city-wards (e.g., the City of Brass).Inhabitants|
