In accord with your command, I present to you our work on the denizens FOREWORD Aof the Inner Planes. My lord, the great ultroloth Elish al-Merador, was pleased with this work. I’m sure you would be equally satisfied. The Inner Planes are primal sources of great power. Of all fiends, it is the devils to first establish a foothold in the Elemental Planes, especially in the Plane of Fire, where they have an embassy in the City of Brass and a pit fiend general Asgeroth serving Imix, the Evil Prince of Elemental Fire. It was with Asgeroth’s assistance that Imix crushed the resistance of Zaaman Rul. If I may offer a suggestion, the weakened Zaaman Rul may be the archomental for you to bind into submission. As a prime native, it would interest you to know that certain regions of the Elemental Planes are said to correspond to specific prime worlds, such that when there is elemental imbalance in a prime world, the corresponding regions on the Elemental Planes also change their respective natures. For ex- ample, there exists a region in the Plane of Ice, where torrents of rain perpetually fall, instead of ice and snow. This region supposedly corresponds with Athas, a prime world of barren desert wasteland. As a result, the Athasians called it somewhat confusingly the “Plane of Rain”, when it is really part of the Plane of Ice. Some creatures even adapted to these regions, creating breeds like the Rain Paraelemental Beast. For more details on these creatures, one can consult Terrors of Athas, a work freely available at http://athas.org/releases. As usual, this product makes use of the rules contained in Monster Manual (v3.5), published by Wizards of the Coast. Those basic information are not reproduced here. Should it be necessary, you can always summon me or contact other plane at d20 System Reference Documents (v3.5). Your mastery of the elements, I believe, would be greatly assisted by the information contained in this codex. I look forward to sending the work on the denizens of the Lower Planes and the fulfillment of your promise to free me from the service of my faceless master by means of imprisonment. In Your Service, Trinitilus Part 1: Elemental Denizens Elemental denizens Part 1: The Inner Planes are the planes of substances, the building blocks of life and existence. As such, life is abundant in these planes. As the Inner Planes share borders, creatures from one plane often cross over to the adjacent planes. For more information, see Appendix on the Inner Planes.
