12.4 THE ELEMENTAL PLANES
The four major known Elemental planes are Earth, Fire, Water and Air. During the Taint Wars, all connections to the planes of Fire and Air were lost and the plane of Earth was corrupted. In more recent times the planes of Fire and Air became freed and are now accessible, with Earth still the only Elemental plane touched by the Taint. The layer of Elemental planes is adjacent to the Ethereal plane and the Cosmic planes. See also PLANAR TRAVEL.
