Earth Plane

The surface is rough, covered with fissures and craters, and it regularly quivers with earthquakes. When the realm of fire beneath breaks through, massive volcanoes form, until earth elementals can put a halt to the incursion. The Earth plane is lined with caves, tunnels and endless passageways. Worms, burrowing animals and other subterranean creatures abound. Gems and jewels of all kinds, including those not known to any other races, can be found within, though they are considered the property of the elementals. No mining efforts are permitted in the realm. Some sages believe that a few of the precious stones possess strong innate magical powers, but the truth of this speculation may never be verified. The surface of this land is not pleasant to live on, but hardy plants and animals do seek out an existence here.In a few rare places, the surface of the plane resembles a rocky, deserted section of the mortal world. Visitors to the Elemental Plane can find some measure of rest here, although the ground does shake and tremble with frightening regularity. Underground, travelers face not only quakes, but also cave-ins, rockslides and other dangers.

Elemental Lord
Flora the Caretaker is ruler over the earth, dirt, rock, and mountains. She is revered by all earth elementals and creatures that dwell underneath the ground. Some druids of the wild see her as the embodiment of all that is peaceful and calm about the world. Some sages believe she feels pain whenever the ground is sundered and weeps at the destruction wrought by mortals and. If so, other worldly creatures however, she has done nothing specific to oppose them. Flora is the most peaceful of the Elemental Lords. She is a patient, loving, motherly type who encourages growing things and loves simply to spend long periods of time relaxing with those creatures that make their homes upon her. She often feels as though she is always at war with the other Elemental Lords. She would be perfectly happy if the three of them would just go away. Flora is slow to anger and attempts to avoid combat whenever possible. If roused to battle, however, she can be a fearsome, powerful opponent. She typically drives toward the most dangerous foe, smashing her target into tiny red pieces before moving on to the next. Should she be seriously challenged, she simply sinks into the earth and retreats.
