[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 9347859, member: 58172"] In my head canon, all of the Neutral alignment planes are Elemental. At a personal level, Lawful Neutral versus Chaotic Neutral, is group versus individuals. But at an atomic level, Law versus Chaos, is "wave" versus "particles". The True Neutral is a kind of Dao optimizing between them, as a third way. Thus the Neutral planes and their dynamic function as the aspect of Astral thought involved in the production of the physical forces, elements, and matter that the rest of the multiverse is made out of. The creatures LN Modron, TN Rilmani, and CN Slaad, should be the creature type Primordial. The LN correlates the Elemental Law, while the CN the Elemental Chaos. These Primordials are still Astral thought, but they are the thoughts that cause the Elemental forms to come into existence. Like the 2024 Tiefling, the 2024 Aasimar might "casually migrate" from the Celestial planes. While Aasimar in the Material Plane are mortal, the Aasimar in the Astral Plane including the Celestial planes are immortal. What do the Aasimar cultures look like in each of the Celestial dominions? They are the "people", the prominent cultures of these planes. The 2e Eladrin do go on missions. We are talking Celestial cultures. Different kinds of Aasimar are members of diverse cultures across the Upper Planes. Referring to "biology" is in the most abstract sense, since Celestials like the rest of the Astral are constructs made out of thought. Different Aasimar cultures allow for different Aasimar jobs, excelling at different player classes. [/QUOTE]
