The World of the Elements

'''In the beginning there was nothing… and it was SO BORING. So the one above all others (people tend to call him Jerry) created the universe. It started with air, then water, then earth, then fire. After making those 4 things, he got really bored and took a long nap. Creating things was very tiresome so Jerry decided to make the idea of outsourcing. Realizing that there was noone to outsource to, Jerry decided to make gods. The gods had the ability to make more things to fill the universe and so Jerry got to chillax and watch the grass grow. Among the elements, that was widely considered a “dick move.” After years of fighting between the gods of creation and the elements of creation, Jerry got tired of all the bickering and separated them into 2 planes of existence. When the elements and the gods also wanted more, Jerry decided to create the idea of deadbeat dads and went to a liquor store for cigarettes, never to return.'''

'''The two material planes, though identical, grew apart. In one plane called Zynomia, they created the humanoids such as humans, elves, dwarves, halfling and alike. They in turn created society, art, literature and technology (yay for more outsourcing. The most sacred of creations.). In the other known as Izyccia, the elements were left to thrive in quiet serenity. Times were peaceful by most world standards. Wars raged on between humanoids of course. For them, war is as natural as bowel movements. Things moved smoothly until the Calamity. For some reason, the Dual Material Planes started collapsing together. For the last 50 years, both planes have been thrown into states of disarray. The outer planes (shadowfell, feywild, limbo, etc) pointed and laughed at their neighbors, but then about 20 years later the other planes started crashing into the outer planes and it has suddenly become “not a laughing and pointing matter.” The elements of Izyccia and the humanoids of Zynomia have warred over the intersecting lands. Warring of the new land that they both share now christened Dominus.'''
