Material Plane

The Material Plane is a massive landmass composed of the raw elements of the Elemental Chaos and suspended "above" it. The plane is a disc of slightly concave rock with an area of approximately 98 million square miles, 65% of which is covered in water. The overall average temperature of the planet is 54 degrees Fahrenheit. The edges of the plane begin to resemble the elemental chaos as it occasionally erupts and encroaches onto the plane, subjecting it randomly to powerful winds or heat waves that scorch all but the hardiest plant and animal life.

Planar Alignment
The Material Plane's upper side "faces" the cosmic source of radiant, fecund energy, the Positive Energy Plane. The underside of the plane "faces" the dark Negative Energy Plane. The entire plane is composed of large pieces of the Elemental Chaos, a roiling storm of raw elements and disembodied force, and the Elemental Chaos still forms a sort of "background" for the Material Plane.

Creation
The Material Plane, like the other planes, were crafted by Fel and created by Dor. The drew a measure of each of the four elements from the Elemental Chaos and crafted them into a new realm of existence, one from which life would thrive. The plane was raised up out of the elemental storm and continues to hold proximity to it, even though the Material Plane was set adrift centuries ago after the battle between the brother gods.
