Overview
The Elemental Plane of Earth is the native home plane of dao, elemental genies associated with earth. It serves as a distant destination in the adventure, though it cannot actually be reached from within the Tomb of the Nine Gods.
Role in the Adventure
The Elemental Plane of Earth is referenced in the context of Keshma al-Wazir, a dao trapped in a bottle by Acererak centuries ago. When released from her prison in area 23 of the tomb, Keshma attempts to return to her home plane by casting plane shift.
Key Properties
The plane cannot be accessed from within the tomb due to magical restrictions. When Keshma attempts to plane shift back to the Elemental Plane of Earth after being freed, the spell fails automatically and she is instead transported to area 57 of the tomb, remaining trapped within Acererak’s dungeon.
