Earth mines2

It is the place of hidden riches.

It is a wall against all foes.

It is a grave for the greedy.

The Elemental Plane of Earth is a solid place made of rock, soil, and stone. The unwary and unprepared traveler may find himself entombed within this vast solidity of material and have his life crushed into nothingness, his powdered remains a warning to any foolish enough to follow.

Despite its solid, unyielding nature, the Elemental Plane of Earth is varied in its consistency, ranging from relatively soft soil to veins of heavier and more valuable metal. Striations of granite, volcanic rock, and marble interweave with brittle crystal and soft, crumbling chalks and sandstones. Thin veins of gemstones, rough and huge, can be found within the plane, and these unpolished jewels often lead the greedy to this plane in the hopes of picking them up with minimal effort. Such prospectors often meet their match in the natives of the Elemental Plane of Earth, who feel extremely attached (sometimes literally) to parts of their home.

Features[]

Earth bridge

The only easily accessible and survivable areas of the plane are the various caverns and tunnels which snake through the mass of earth. Here travelers are relatively safe, barring hostile inhabitants, cave ins, and potential starvation if trapped far from a portal. The plane is extremely dark, and the tunnels seem to go on forever, making it difficult to navigate. Occasionally travelers may run across deposits of glowing crystals that light up an area, but these are usually signs of recent or present occupation of an area by other inhabitants.

There are not many landmarks in the Plane of Earth, though parts of it have been settled by the Dao. These genies are found in a number of communities, and unlike the elementals, do desire trade with other races. However, they're not overly fond of thieves sneaking into their mines.

On the Server[]

Earth battle

There is a portal the tunnels of the Elemental Plane of Earth, located in the Lower Ward. The inhabitants of these tunnels range from elementals, to umber hulks and stone scorpions in the deeper passages. It is said that there are also Dao Mines located nearby, though the Dao and their duergar guards jealously guard their mines from outsiders.
