[Planes] The Elemental Plane of Water and Blackmoor
#1
Elemental Plane of Water
What is unique about the Plane of Water when it comes to Blackmoor? 

 
Gods
First, lets look at the gods of the Blackmoor pantheon. Several gods probably take a particular interest in the element of Water. Mwajin is a god of sailors. Hydros is the elven god of the element of water. Then there is the god behind the Temple of the Frog. I also think those swampy waters could have connections to the Elemental Plane of Water. 

 
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. Water Elementals are the most common inhabitants of the plane. 


Naliseth are colossal sea serpents known to the Skandaharians. Some are seen near whirlpools that could lead to the Plane of Water. Could that be the source of origin of these creatures?

Elven Elementalists and elven Clerics of Hydros have been known to travel to the Elemental Plane of Water in order to expand their magical knowledge or seek out relics and magical items connected to that element. 

The Ordo Elementarum explored the Elemental Plane of Water early on. 

Frost Giants and Skandaharians may have travelled to the more icy regions of the Plane of Water.


 
On the Prime Plane of Blackmoor
Gates to the Plane of Water may exist in many places near Blackmoor. Whirlpools and underwater gateways may exist in the Black Sea and the North Sea as well as in lakes or rivers in the Dismal Swamp. 

The Sailors of Archlis may know secrets invoking elementals in order to give their ships more speed or protect them from storms. 

The monstrous Kraken could be linked to some sinister elemental power?

What other ideas do you have for the Elemental Plane of Water?

Hydros (Elvish) and Uzu Kul (Skandaharian) are linked to The Sea, Earthquakes / Tsunamis, Sailing.

Mwajin (Skandaharian) may be more connected with Hersh (Thonian), Volketh (pre-Thonian), Pathmeer (Dwarved), Dealth (Elvish), all deities related to Thievery, Messengers, Travel, Trade. Then of course all deities may have multiple, overlapping connections...

I use the name Brr'bb't for the (pre-Thonian) deity of the Frog cult.
He's a real Nowhere man, sitting in his Nowhere land,
making all his Nowhere plans for Nobody.
