	Unfortunately, the Princes of Elemental Good have never really had the traction of their more malevolent counterparts, in one part because DMs rarely have as much use for goodly monsters as they do for malign ones (evil parties are, after all, the rarity in D&D) and in another part because they really exemplify the complaints many D&D fans make of [[Planescape]] relying a little too heavily on grid-filling. Then again, that's a pretty dumb reason, since 1)it's never stopped the metallic dragons from always turning up alongside the chromatics, 2) dragons and archomentals both make for decent ~~questgivers~~ anyway, and 3)complaining about grid-filling in D&D doesn't make much sense when grid-filling is build into the very lore and metaphysical structure of the Great Wheel.

	Whilst she doesn't seek to forge an army, Chan's following is very large. She is served by [[elemental]]s, [[genie\|djinn]], [[sylph]]s, [[fairy\|fey]] of various ~~typesm~~, and all manner of flying creatures, such as arrowhawks, air [[mephit]]s, [[Elemental Weird\|air weird]]s, invisible stalkers and spirits of the air. Her close allies include [[Guardinal\|Talisid's Five Companions]] (particulrly Sathia and Kharash), [[Koriel]] (God of [[Ki-Rin]]), [[Syranita]] (God of [[Aarakocra]]) and [[Aerdrie Faenya]] (God of [[Avariel]]) - as such, it should be no surprise that she is also popular with their mortal servants. Other creatures known to serve or venerate Chan include [[hollyphant]]s, shedu, shenmurvs, cloud giants, giant eagles, [[pegasus\|pegasi]] and any other flying creature.

	Perhaps Chan's closest ally is Ty-h'kadi, Prince of Thunder & Lightning, the ruler of the storm elementals. They regularly work together, and Chan considers it her responsibility to stop it when he flies into one of his destructive rages. When even her presence isn't enough to calm him, she will battle him to a stand-still.		Perhaps Chan's closest ally is Ty-h'kadi, Prince of Thunder & Lightning, the ruler of the storm elementals.

	As in 2e, the Chan of 3e dwells within the Palace of Unseen Contemplation upon the Plane of Air; a floating castle built entirely from the purest glass, which was fashioned for her as a gift by [[Sunnis]] from the ~~finests and~~ of the Plane of Earth. Numerous observations of the multiverse are etched on various glass panels in Auran and Vaati, though the most important secrets are locked away where only Chan knows how to get them. A gracious hostess, Chan welcomes all who have a sincere desire to meditate into her home.		As in 2e, the Chan of 3e dwells within the Palace of Unseen Contemplation upon the Plane of Air; a floating castle built entirely from the purest glass, which was fashioned for her as a gift by [[Sunnis]] from the finest sand of the Plane of Earth. Numerous observations of the multiverse are etched on various glass panels in Auran and Vaati, though the most important secrets are locked away where only Chan knows how to get them. A gracious hostess, Chan welcomes all who have a sincere desire to meditate into her home.

	In form, Chan is an amorphous mass; See Invisibility will reveal only a translucent cloud, whilst True Sight will reveal a shifting cloud ringed by powerful air currents and with darker patches of vapor forming vague but feminine and serene facial features. Personality-wise, Chan is someone who enjoys mental tests and puzzles, and much of her free time is spent looking for ways to test her wits. Whilst somewhat aloof, she is ultimately well-meaning and benevolent. She believes in waiting to strike at just the right moment.
