Elemental Plane of Fire

The Elemental Plane of Fire is the plane of existence that represents the basic basic element of fire and is home to several native inhabitans, which include the Elemental Lord Kossuth. Fires survive here without a need for fuel or air to burn, seeming to feed on each other to produce a continually burning landscape.

Features
Most of the Plane of Fire consists of slow-moving solid flame of compressed flame, but there are various other aspects as well. Some of the more faster-moving, hotter regions are rivers of fire and magma that pour through the ductile landscape of the plane of fire, consolidating into oceans made of liquid flame. The air ripples with the heat of continual firestorms, with rains of hot ash causing the same perils to those on the ground that steam clouds do to those in the air usually appearing as a darkening on the horizon that moves in like a summer storm.

The greatest danger on the plane though is its fire-dominant trait. The inherent heat of the plane, it's omnipresent flames and the hot, toxic smoke in the air all have effects on foreign objects and creatures. For instance, the air ripples because of the heat, so mirages dance at the edge of an observer's vision, and the true nature of the land is concealed except for the area closest at hand. The continually radiated flame cause an immense impediment to vision -- not through the brilliance, however, but rather the effects of the heat and the continually smoking atmosphere. One result of these hazards is the nullification of certain abilities. Darkvision does not function on the Elemental Plane of Fire, except in those rare places where a bit of natural darkness can be found -- perhaps the palace of the sultan of the efreet in the City of Brass.

City of Brass
The City of Brass is populated by the Grand Sultan and is considered by many efreet to be their home and capital. The most famous location in the Elemental Plane of Fire, it rests at the plane's heart sheltering all who enter from the harsh surrounding nature.

Inhabitants
Despite being one of the most hostile of the Inner Planes, the Plane of Fire is also one of the most vibrant. A number of narives reside on the plane, including elementals, who are actually sentient pieces of the plane itself, a number of outsiders and other fire-using creatures. Efreet, azers, and salamanders have more organized societies than elementals, often inhabiting large settlements. Outsiders tend to be a bit more hospitable to foreigners, while several communities go out of their way to accommodate travelers. Other fire-using creatures call the Plane of Fire home as well, residing near vortices that lead to their home planes. Creatures that are immune to fire, such as devils, may also be found at such locations. There is regular traffic in information, goods, and prisoners between the City of Brass and the Nine Hells.

The native language of most inhabitants of the Elemental Plane of Fire is Ignan, a sharp, hissing and clicking language. Those natives who deal with other planes may speak in other tongues as well, with Infernal and Common being aomng the most prevelant.
