Arcane Plane

Home of fire, energy, destruction, and evocation. Its domain begins with the Burning Ash nebula and is ruled in conflict by the four deities of the natural elements: fire, air, stone, water; These deities, known only as The Incarnations were also the creators and protectors of the Elemental Planes.

## The Elemental Paths

After the Astral Plane was created following the events of First Lights Grave the first of the four major elements blossomed into existence creating the Arcane Plane. Spreading out throughout the cosmos: air, stone, water, and most commonly, fire, all scattered throughout the expanse. At the core of the cosmos this elemental matter began to swirl around the Umbral Heart, the leftover void star from First Lights Grave, and this formed the raw elemental planes and caused the awakening of the first beings of the Spectral Planes, the apex elemental known as Incarnations.

The Arcane Plane was the smallest of the Spectral Planes and the closest to the core. It would serve as the crossroads between the Outer Planes and the Elemental Planes, and thus the Material Plane. The Arcane Plane was broken up into eight demiplanes, four major and four minor, each representing a prime element or a transitive element. Each of these demiplanes was ruled by an Incarnation that aggressively ruled the path between the outer and inner realms.

### Prime Elemental Demiplanes:

* The **Burning Ash**; Fire
* The **Tombs of Stone**, Earth
* The **Far Sea**; Water
* The **Great Open**, Air

### Transitive Elemental Demiplanes:

* The **Molten Rage**, Magma
* The **Fallen Muck**, Ooze
* The **Mistbound Heart**, Mist *(later becomes the **Icebound Heart**)*
* The **Wandering Smog**, Smoke

The Prime Demiplanes took up the majority of the Arcane Plane with the demiplanes only occupying the small borders between the larger planes. Four long roads lead alongside the borders of these transitive demiplanes and extend between the Elemental Planes and four of the outer planes.

## The Incarnations

Eight elemental Incarnations were created when the arcane and elemental planes were created, each represented the major and minor prime elements and they were massive and power entities. Titanic gatekeepers of the Elemental Paths they prevented both mortals and divinities from coming and going between the outer and inner planes.

### Prime Incarnations:

* **Kindra**, the Burning Queen *(Burning Ash)*
* **Beoroen**, Entombed in Stone *(Tombs of Stone)*
* **Volante**, the Drowned King *(Far Sea)*
* **Breyazi**, the Clouded Sky *(Great Open)*

### Gatekeeper Incarnations:

* **Pyre**, Fury's Torch *(Molten Rage)*
* **Gloo'migpth**, the Creeping Mold *(Fallen Muck)*
* **Amira**, Lady of the Mist *(Mistbound Heart)* - ((*later, The Icebound Heart))*
* **Vhect**, the Silent One *(Wandering Smog)*

The Incarnations were separated into two groups, major and minor. The Prime Incarnations were the most powerful of these elemental lords and spent most of their existence propagating their elemental and building the Elemental Planes. They also supported the minor Incarnations, known as the Gatekeepers, who protected the elemental planes from outside travelers.

During the Prismatic Wars the Incarnations warred among one another after Amira struck down Volante seeking the Essence Crown, however Kindra the partner of Volante reincarnated her king, though in a catatonic state, she hide the crown from Amira who continued to attack the other Incarnations becoming Amira, the Icebound Heart.
