[Planes] Blackmoor's Elemental Plane of Fire
#1
What are some unique features that could pertain to the Plane of Fire, specifically as it connects to Blackmoor?


Gods
Several gods probably take a particular interest in the element of Fire. First there is Zugzul. He was originally the patron of Fire and Ice (as per DA1) and then reimagined as the God of Fire and Darkness in the 3E line. In either case, Fire is his thing. His followers include the Afrhidhi, but also Fire Giants as well as Efreeti and other fire elemental creatures. Then there is Fiumarra, the elven patroness of Fire. She is both beautiful and terrible. Then there are the two sun gods Pacuun and Sollus.


Inhabitants and visitors

The Elemental Planes are home to all kinds of elemental creatures. Some resemble humanoids of all sizes. Others resemble animals. Others again, are of different forms and shapes. The most commonly seen natives to the plane are the Fire Elementals. Other creatures also exist here like the Efreeti, Fire Giants and Solluxes. Many Efreeti are followers of Zugzul. The Efreheti have a tyrannical empire on the Plane of Fire. Solluxes appear as humanoids. Many oppose the Efreeti. Their most powerful warriors are known as Sun Brothers.

Visitors to the Plane of Fire include members of the Ordo Elementarum. These mages from Blackmoor have explored many different planes. Elven Elementalists are also frequenly seen here, seeking audiences with powerful elemental creatures.

On the Prime Plane of Blackmoor
Planar nexuses often form around volcanoes, or during forest fires, lightning strikes or similar events. Others are found in rivers of lava deep underground, such as deep below Castle Blackmoor. In the Barrens of Karsh, Zugzul's followers, the Afridhi have summoned Efreeti in order to construct a powerful artifact. Sun brothers have also been seen in the region, trying to oppose their eternal enemies.


What are other unique aspects of Blacmoor's Elemental Plane of Fire?

These Blackmoorian deities that may be somehow linked to fire: Kela (Dwarven), Ferros (Elvish), Hemgrid (Gnomish), Kadis (Thonian), that are more centred on aspects related to Knowledge (practical), Fire, Metal, Smithing.
Sachwinne (Thonian), Shau (Dwarven), Zugzul (Afridhi), Tyrhm (Skandaharian) are more linked to the point of view of War, Fire, Destruction.
Then of course different ages of Blackmoor may have presence / prevalence of some of these deities over others. For example, Zugzul became relevant only after the Afridhi migration and conquest of the Duchy of Ten, etc.

Baldin (Thonian), Dhumnon (Dwarven), Mieroc (Gnomish), Pacuun (Peshwah) are more about Sun, Music, Poetry. Sollus (Thonian) and Hak (Peshwah) are related to the Sun in the sense of Nature (tamed), Agriculture, Grain, Bread... maybe they can all be considered related to the Fire element, but perhaps not as strongly as the ones in the previous part of the post...

Is there any mentions to these elemental planes in the official sources?

Yes, the D20 Dave Arneson's Blackmoor Campaign Book is probably the best source. 

But information is scattered a bit here and there. An overview can be found in the section about the Elven Elementalist Prestige Class.
