Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dire Bare" data-source="post: 4570279" data-attributes="member: 18182">The Elemental Chaos is quite clearly a mash-up of the earlier concepts of the elemental planes and Limbo.  It's got elementals, slaadi, and githzerai for Pelor's sake!  I don't find the flavor inconsistent at all.  The overall plane is a chaotic soupy jumble of the elements, both the classical four elements plus the various "pseudo" and "para" elements and more!  Claudio Pozas did an inspired and beautiful painting on his website that catches this idea pretty well.  Within this chaotic jumble are some realms/regions of stability.  They might be of one singular element, or might be somewhat terrestrial and habitable like the City of Brass.I lurve this concept so much more than the earlier cosmology.  I hated the old Limbo, it wasn't much of a place to adventure unless you wanted to grind slaadi or meet up with a githzerai monk.  The old elemental planes concept was silly even after 3e took out the "pseudo" and "para" planes.</blockquote>
