Manual of the Planes

And that city itself is sitting in the middle of the elemental plane of fire.

This book came out eight years, eight years before a more fleshed out deep dive called The Manual of the Planes was written.

And finally explained how the cosmology and what the elemental planes were.

But as you could see, this concept has been around since the beginning.

Ecuador, which is eight segments, air, cold water, moisture, earth.

Essentially, this shows you exactly how they would all touch and then what would form out of them, which is the 12 different quasi-planes.

This is all fan-made, right? Well, Jeff Grubb's Manual of the Planes came out in 1987, and that was mentioned earlier, and it's where we all got all the official shit about the elemental planes.

Grubb organized the whole multiverse and filled in the inner planes with the in-between planes where elements overlap.

The city of Brass is old as fuck.

The first edition Manual of the Planes from 1987, the best year ever, does not give us a founding date.

And how could it? It is a plane meant for high-level adventure, and it isn't part of Greyhawk or Faroon, but it's kind of part of both, maybe just leaving it ambiguous as best.

It also says the Sultan has power comparable to a greater power and that some of his advisors are comparable to lesser powers or demipowers.
