12.17.19 The Elemental Fringes

THE ELEMENTAL FRINGES

At the very borders of Elemental dominion lies the Fringes, liminal spaces where primal forces collide, fracture, and reknit themselves in aberrant fusions. Here, the sovereignty of Kkractle, Garash, Sllshya, and Whiirh is unrecognized, their influence intermingling without structure or coherence, producing warped landscapes and volatile phenomena. Native elementals born of flux prowl these borderlands, their extreme aggression and unstable behavior leading the pure Elements to classify them as failed expressions of form.

In the year 981AF, violent elemental upheavals ripped open several planar rifts within the Elemental Planes, revealing the Fringes to those of the Prime for the first time.

BLISTERWASH CALDERA

Where Fire and Water meet lies Blisterwash Caldera, a geothermal basin cloaked in stinging vapour and hot steam. Shallow pools of sulphuric water fill mineral-crusted depressions, displaying a variety of hues from deep reds to sickly yellows and acidic greens. Much of the ground remains dry and brittle despite the surrounding moisture, fractured from persistent cycles of heat and cooling.

You can travel to Blisterwash Caldera through the stabilised rifts at:

    'Hot spring on the Grasp' within the Elemental Plane of Fire (v52824)
    'Irradiated by a dazzling sunbeam' within the Elemental Plane of Water (v53301)
