The Elemental Realms

Fire and Air

Fire

The ground is made of crushed fire opals. The horizon is crimson, broken every now and then by the blazing sun. Volcanoes protrude from the ground every few meters. Ruby statues stand proudly in the town square, which is paved with topaz. The buildings are trimmed with gold, and opals provide paths. Dragons hide in caves and on top of mountains, plotting their next reign. Phoenixes soar through the hot and heavy air, letting out screeching cries. Torches are planted in the ground, giving off a golden glow. People are dressed in blazing robes of ruby, with topaz shoes, and crowns of gold. The erupting volcanoes provide spectacular displays for any passerby. Fire dancers nimbly toss flaming sticks to each other, while a captivated audience watches.


Air

Sapphire steps lead up to a diamond palace. Fireworks go off, alerting the residents of any visitors. Pressure plates activate golden lamps, which light up the entryway. People clothed in robes of the purest cotton float this way and that, delivering food fit for a king to anyone who asks. Groups of people merrily ring bells, providing a lovely accompaniment to the carolers. The sky is sapphire blue, and a pegasus will swoop in every few minutes to faithfully drop off a traveler. Diamond pathways lead up to castles. Golden crowns adorn the heads of pearl statues, standing in the main square and memorializing the heroes of the past.
