Elemental Planes

The Elemental Planes are dimensions seperate from Theias marterial plane. They are the resting place for the gods and the only way for a mortal soul to reach them is by dying. We only know about them because on rare occasion a soul may be send back to Theia in the form of a Genasi. Genasi sometimes dream of the elemental planes though none have been able to provide specific descriptions.

The plane of Water is home to The Tidemother
The plane of Earth is home to The Maiden
The plane of Fire is home to The Smith
The plane of Air is home to The Silver Dragon

The emergence of elemental creatures is a rare and mysterious occurance. Many believe that when a soul returns from these planes sometimes a sliver of the dimensional fabric travels with them and forms an elemental.
