Arrillis - Plane of Air

Each Elemental Plane was once one of five primal sources of energy for the universe, this raw unbound energy was bound by The Entity

The omnipotent lifeform that stopped the Void consuming everything and inadvertantly created the planet within Terrainia

to stabilise the the Material Plane. Once contained the energies coalesced and, along with the rock trapped within; formed land, sea and air. The Entity

The omnipotent lifeform that stopped the Void consuming everything and inadvertantly created the planet within Terrainia

then bound each elemental plane to the material plane using massive planar gates.


The heart of the plane is a core of brilliant copper infused with raw primal energy. Arrillis is one massive ball of turbulent air, an outer shell has formed from particles gathered and crushed together.

Due to the chaos of uncontrolled energy, every day thousands of tiny elementals are born and sent spiralling into the crust, when enough of them gather they can break through, often unleashing great tornados as they reach the outer side.

Arrillis is connected to the material plane by the Wind Gates, the primal energy which passes through from Arrillis is what provides the elemental power of Air to the material plane.

An age ago the elder dragon Mathandria ascended to this plane, not long after her chromatic sister Vorseth did the same. Vorseth continues to harness the power of Arrillis to create creatures with which to assail the forces of her sister.

Composition

Planar Sphere: Elemental Planes

The five raw powers of the multiverse divided into planes

Form: Planetoid contained within planar sphere
Gravity: Normal
Passage of time: Normal
Climate: Cool, Dry, Windy

Arrillis is completely barren, gale-force winds have long since worn the open surfaces smooth. Should a crack in the outer shell appear then massive tornados erupt from beneath.

Air

Arrillis

When a whistler breaks through the crust of Arrillis a whistle sound is made as the glide though the air. With their new found freedom they roam the air currents of the plane for several years before the first touch the ground.

Summonable by most spellcasters, those of a Skyborn heritage can summon them in groups. Singularly they only capable of aiding the summoner to navigate air currents or forewarn of turbulent air, as a group they are able power wind powered vessels.

After approximately a decade a whistler will suddenly evolve, by resting in a tornado or similar and emerge a few days later as a Breezer.

Appearance:

Barely noticeable as it just living air. Only by watching its surroundings would you be able to spot one; leaves or dust travelling against the prevailing wind.

Once the Breezer emerges from it evolution it will seek others of its kind, eager to communicate and become part of a group.

Now only summonable individually, these small elementals can guide their summon towards or away from any wind based weather, provide enough wind power to propel a ship.

During its time helping those who summon it, a Breezer might over extended itself, those that do this too much can perish, but those that do it and survive will emerge bigger and more powerful.

Appearance:

Barely bigger than a child, its movement more clear due to it carrying an aura like layer of dust.

, Galea

Subtype (Name):

Archetype:

Class:

Native Plane:

Galea

Elemental

Air

Arrillis

A empowered Breezer, now known as a Galea by those on the Material Plane begin to form an outer shell akin to that of the plane Arrillis. Formed from tiny stones and bits of debris which has made contact over the years and crushed by the inner turbulence the Elemental is formed of.

Now only summonable individually, these small elementals can guide their summon towards or away from any wind based weather, provide enough wind power to propel a ship.

On their home plane a Galea can reach a point where its size forces a transformation. Its outer shell will either collapse and it becomes a Tornada, or it will become one with the Elemental and become a Hurrilacrum.

Appearance:

a 6ft swirling mass, cone shaped to give the appearance of broad shoulders, an outer crust of dust and debris constantly shifts over the turbulent core.

, Hurrilacrum

Elemental

Air

Arrillis

When an Air Elemental reaches sufficient age and power, its form can drastically change. An outer shell of Copper forms from as it takes shape as an Air Elemental hominoid, a weapon forms of hardened copper the form of which is determined by the elemental.

Now it will only head the call of the most powerful Skyborn spellcasters and devout worshiper of Mathandria. When this creature is called up on it for a singular purpose, to fight.

A formidable a foe as such a visage suggests, erringly fast, its movements can be a blur. Should it be victorious it will revel in victory, but if defeated it will explode in a shower of copper shards and unleash a almighty hurricane.

Appearance:

8ft tall copper plated humanoid, its elemental nature hidden beneath with a weapon of its choice is formed of hardened copper. Fast and agile despite the bulk.

, Tornada

Subtype (Name):

Archetype:

Class:

Native Plane:

Tornada

Elemental

Air

Arrillis

A Galea whose outer shell collapses instantly becomes a Tornada, a massive living tornado. The Tornada will cause great destruction in its short lived existence.

Unsummonable in this form, but if this transformation occurs during a summoning it will still seek to do the bidding of its summoner, at least for a while.

A best a Tornado will only exist for a few minutes, at worst a few hours, the longer it exists the less control the summoner has.

Appearance:

For all intents and purposes its is a tornado, just one that has an degree, albeit only a minor, of control.

Planar Influance: Material

Air elementals are solitary Skyborn creatures, as they grow they become more social. When they reach a certain size they can control the air around them for defensive and offensive purposes.

Forces of - Vorseth

Anemos

Construct

Air

Arrillis

The Anemos were the first to be created by Vorseth once she reached Arrillis. With the purpose of building the Tempest Fortress from the small rocks of the world around them.

Despite being native to the plane of Arrillis, Anemos are not elemental, therefore can not be summoned to the Material Plane. However, Vorseth can answer a plea from one of her creations and send one or more Anemos to aid her follower.

Suited to combat due to brute strength and their resilient form, but also fully capable of building or repairing structure for the mortal who called for Vorseth's aid.

Appearance:

5ft tall, blue skinned hunched humanoid, very heavily built, incredibly strong and almost impervious to mundane weapons like swords or arrows.

, Ouranos

Native Plane:

Ouranos

Construct

Air

Arrillis

A later creation of Vorseth, when she decided to assail Mathandria's Windborn Fortress she created a few thousand of these creatures. A single purpose intended, forged from the elemental forces around her bound to Raptorians plucked from the mortal plane.

Already martial trained as a Raptorian, these melded creatures gain far more power flight, able to soar at subsonic speed. Weapons forged from the elemental forces she creatures soon forget where they came from, for they are at home, with this original creator.

Despite being native to the plane of Arrillis, Ouranos are not elemental, therefore can not be summoned to the Material Plane. Ouranos that prove themselves stronger, faster and better than those around them are promoted to Aeras.

Appearance:

5ft - 6ft tall, bird like creatures covered in blue feathers that have an aura of elemental energy about them. Armed with elemental forged bows or blades.

, Aeras

Subtype (Name):

Archetype:

Class:

Native Plane:

Aeras

Construct

Air

Arrillis

Promoted from Ouranos, these are the elite troops of Vorseth, visually the same as their form remained unchanged, they are faster, stronger and better fighters than the Ouranos.

Able to command the armies of Vorseth, and select the best recruits from the Material Plane, these Aeras are invaluable to her, to the point where Vorseth leaves them to their duty, confident in their ability.

Despite being native to the plane of Arrillis, Aeras are not elemental, therefore can not be summoned to the Material Plane. They do however have the ability to reach the Material Plane at will, and will come to the aid of their once brethren, the Raptorians, should they so desire.

Appearance:

5ft - 6ft tall, bird like creatures covered in blue feathers that have an aura of elemental energy about them. A crest of white feathers mark them as Aeras, armed with elemental forged bows or blades.

, Peto

Subtype (Name):

Archetype:

Class:

Native Plane:

Peto

Construct

Air

Arrillis

Created by Vorseth to act as guardians of her fortress, these are massive creatures, forged from Giants, these massive creatures are infused with the elemental energy of Arrillis, giving them power of the air itself and giving them vastly improved speed and dexterity.

No longer growing as giants normally do, but forever stoic and ready to defend the Tempest Fortress. On the rarest of occasions Vorseth will send on to the Material Plane, but only to achieve a singular purpose and then recalled.

Despite being native to the plane of Arrillis, Peto are not elemental, therefore can not be summoned to the Material Plane.

Appearance:

30+ft tall giants, bluey white skin, muscles the size of trees, each is armed with a massive weapon of their choosing, often a two handed hammer the size of a ship.

Planar Influance: Material

Vorseth cares not for the natually birthed Elementals of Arrillis. Just as she did on the Material Plane; she has created many creatures on the Elemental Plane.

ABOUT US

THE CONCEPTION

Terrainia started off in 2004 as a single island for a role-playing game (using a well-known and popular third edition rule set). This island became wonderfully detailed, players would recognise who they were dealing with when suitable miniatures (made by another well-known table-top games company) were placed on the table. But eventually the players finished the campaign, and managed to slay the dragon, or so they thought.

So with the campaign over, but the desire to continue burning ever bright, further areas were designed and planned, and over the course of five long but enjoyable years the world grew exponentially. At its peak of these five years there were six regular groups, around forty players, two dungeon masters, and a world as large as Earth drawn up and with huge levels of detail.

THE EVOLUTION

While that is where Terrainia was born, now twenty years on and the development hasn’t stopped, we began to construct this website in 2010 as a resource for our players to use, then in 2020 (during the world wide pandemic) our founder took the opportunity to flesh out the world even more and add this to the website during which thoughts turned to sharing Terrainia with the rest of the world.

It was at this time that the founder began to commission artists, budgets were low, it took time to find the right artists with the right style, but over the next few years the main cast got made, the deities, the primary heroes and villains, then monsters. it was important for the founder that all artwork was theirs, monster design was theirs, and in turn game systems were theirs, we did not want to copy or reproduce existing systems

Along with the game world, contributors are writing novels and designing games, all set within Terrainia, at the time this page was last updated there is no less than seven different games/books in production, and soon will have link to these games/books for you to immerse yourselves within.

So that’s us, we hope you enjoy the site, if you want to give us some feedback why not .

THE FUTURE

After this first wave of games and books who knows? but one thing for sure is there is plenty of material and our aim will be to share this world with as many fantasy fans as possible.
