[QUOTE="starwolf, post: 1273542, member: 2971"] Funny thing about this world of yours, it sounds just like our house campaign- The Five Sultanates. Essentially the "prime" plane is just the confluence of the six "elemental planes" where if you travel far enough in a particular direction you eventually cross into one of the elemental planes - down=earth up= air north=water south=fire east=light west=dark Now, as you can guess, with a name like the 5 Sultanates, the central area has a distinctly Middle Eastern flavor. But just to throw a twist into the whole, there is also a Spirit Plane, so shamanism plays a very large role in the setting. So almost all magic comes from the "spirits". Now, the sha'ir, when you get right down to it, has as it's roots, a shamanic tradition. Gens really are nothing more than "elemental" totems or spirit helpers. So in our group a sha'ir would really be a shaman that concentrated on one of the elements. [/QUOTE]
