Volcanis - Plane of Fire

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 pure molten gold infused with raw primal energy. Located in the centre of the planet which is a formed of almost pure molten rock, thousands of miles deep with a thin crust of igneous rock.

The core's energy, in it's highly volatile state, sporadically gives birth to tiny fire elementals, which when born, hitch a ride on a current of magma to the planets surface.

Volcanis is connected to the material plane by the Magma Gates, the primal energy which passes through from Volcanis is what provides the elemental power of Fire to the material plane.

An age ago the elder dragon Rayis ascended to this plane, not long after his chromatic brother Abixlion did the same. From that moment on there has been continual conflict as Abixlion strives to claim the plane and it's power for himself, and himself alone.

Once an Emberling reaches the surface of Volcanis it begins it's wandering of the vast open plane, it feeds of the very energy the plane contains.

Now a more capable elemental, able to better control fire and it's own form. The first signs of igneous armour will show. Eventually they will become a Flamewright.

There is only one incinerator at any one time, created only when Abixlion wants to attack the Fortress of Emberlon. The deity will elevate the Overlord of Asheron Fortress to a Incinerator, and a new Overlord will be chosen by Abixlion.

Given new form and a direct connection to Abixlion this creature is massive and almost invincible. It cannot be summoned at all, no mortal could bend the will of this creature.

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.
