[QUOTE="Demetrios1453, post: 7471930, member: 6801060"] That's actually a pretty interesting proposition. Dust, Ash, and Salt thematically fit in quite well with the whole Dark Sun "feel" (Vacuum less so, but it could be made to work). Philosophically, the Quasielemental Planes were just the basic matter of the Elemental Planes exhibiting either excess energy (the positive Quasielemental Planes) or deficient, negative energy (the negative Quasielemental Planes), in other words, in the latter case, "weak and played out". In this line of thought, mechanically, due to defiling, Athasian attempts to access the Elemental Planes have more and more often been accessing areas tainted with their Quasielemental counterparts. Granted this only works in 2e cosmology, since the Quasielemental Planes no longer existed from 3e on, but "areas contaminated by negative energy" works just as well for later editions... [/QUOTE]
