Editing Elemental Pole (section)

==Poles of Creation==
The five Elemental Poles of Creation are what causes Creation to exist as a stable, defined realm, distinct from the ever-shifting flux of the [[Wyld]]. As one moves closer to the four active poles, their elemental effects grow stronger, so only the mightiest of Exalts and elementals of the appropriate type can survive in close proximity. This also causes the terrain to shift accordingly, growing more and more strongly dictated by their defining element. If you somehow manage to progress beyond the heartland of the Pole itself, you break through into the Wyld beyond.

===Earth===
Arguably the most important of Creation's Elemental Poles, the Pole of Earth is located at the very literal center of Creation, the Blessed Isle, providing the foundational stability that allows the world of mortals to exist at all.

===Air===
Positioned in the cardinal North of Creation, the Pole of Air is marked as a land of freezing snowfields and icy peaks, becoming increasingly barren and empty as you approach the Pole. 

===Water===
Positioned in the cardinal West of Creation, the Pole of Water is made up of seas; it is the largest expanse of water in Creation, and the further one heads West, the sparser the intrusion of islands to break up the monotony of endless sea becomes.

===Fire===
Positioned in the cardinal South of Creation, the Pole of Fire manifests as a land of scorching savannahs and deserts, growing increasingly hot and dry as one heads south until eventually it gives way to endless fields of smokeless fire.

===Wood===
Positioned in the cardinal East of Creation, the Pole of Wood is a realm of forests, fields and fends. The closer to the Pole, the mightier the trees become, until you have a dense jungle so high and immense that the ground might as well be the [[Underdark]] for all it matters.
