Polos Elementales y el Wyld

Hay algo ke no entiendo con respecto a los polos elementales...

Estan al borde del "mapa", eso kiere decir ke estan en el Deep Wyld?

Los Polos Elementales están separando la Creación del Kaos.

Si viajas hasta el Oeste, cada vez hay más agua y menos tierra porque te hacercas al Polo Elemental del Agua. Imagino que los Polos en si son concentraciones puras de su Elemento, en un vórtice capaz de hacer suficiente Enviromental Damage como para matar a cualquera sin protección mágica al instante. La excepción sería Tierra, ya que en vez de una fuerza destructiva y cambiante toma la forma de la estabilidad, representada por una Montaña.
Otro peligro de los Polos Elementales sería los poderosos Dominios que allí se encuentran, impartiendo mutaciones y sobrecargas de esencia pura para todos lados.

En cuanto a la prgunta original. Imagina que los 4 Polos Elementales de cada punto cardinal actuan como columnas gigantes que estabilizan la Creación y la separan del Kaos.
No hay una separación brusca entre Polo Elemental y Kaos, sino que yo imagino que va en degrade de estabilidad.
Con lo cual, yo creo que los Polos están entre los Bordermarches y la Creación...de ahí que cuanto más te alejas, todo se empieza a disolver en el Kaos.

THE ELEMENTAL POLES
At the furthest edge of Creation’s influence lie
the Elemental Poles of Fire, Air, Wood and Water.
They are in the Wyld, but not of it. The Wyld itself
slithers around them, but the poles themselves mark
the boundaries of Creation.
The elemental poles have no fixed location. They are
the Furthest Point. As Creation expanded in the First Age,
the poles stretched further apart. As the Wyld swept in
to wash Creation’s borders away, the poles moved inward
toward their center, the Elemental Pole of Earth.
To reach one of the other elemental poles, journey
outward from Creation and concentrate on the most
“elementally pure” parts of the landscape. While the
traveler runs the risk of straying into Chaos, if he keeps
heading toward the structured principle of the element
that he seeks, eventually he finds his way to the pole.
Once he arrives, there is no path into Chaos. To go from
an elemental pole into Pure Chaos, a traveler would have
to go back toward Creation, and thus re-enter the Deep
Wyld, and choose a different path from there.
Around each pole lies total confusion and dizzying
change. A mountain range rises up in seconds, and then
reduced to plains, and then becomes a forest or a riverbed.
A great chasm opens before a traveler’s feet, and then
fills up again. The only real stability (and scarcely even
that) lies in the area directly around a traveler, briefly
firm due to the traveler’s own perceptions and to any
Charms or sorcery the traveler may use.
As the forms become more chaotic, however, the
substance of the Wyld becomes purer near an elemental
pole. In the West, the sea reaches to the horizon; forests
rise from the surface of the water in high fountains that
bear leaves of fluid, mountains of water arise and hold
their shape until they are cast down again, and one may sail
down and up a vast ravine that holds its form as though
carved. In the South, springing trees and grasses of fire
burn without being consumed, while deer and birds of
flames pass by. In the East, the ground is made of wood
and leaves, while the people seen in the distances are
living dolls of grass and wood that speak with human
voices. In the North, the ceaseless wind blows the endless
wastes of snow and ice into a thousand fleeting shapes.
Solid floes of pallid, opaque air go rushing through the
sky like birds, and bolts of lightning become towers, trees
or tumbleweeds.
However, the elemental poles themselves do not
show the same kind of chaos as the Wyld around them.
They keep to the rules of Creation, without mad re-com-
binations or distortions of scale. The birds at the Pole
of Wood may be made of wood and leaves, but they are
true birds and not lizard-fishes that swim through the air.
The rivers at the Pole of Fire may consist of liquid flame
and lava and flow through banks of burning coal, but
they do not run uphill or sing opera. While the scenery
and terrain at the poles change constantly so that fields
of flowers blossom and die within a minute, and cliffs
rise and fall within an hour, they are elemental copies
of the things from within Creation, not impossibilities
from outside it. A few savants believe the poles offer the
originals of Creation’s forms, which the Pole of Earth’s
influence solidifies within Creation.
Few dwellers in Creation could survive a journey
to the elemental poles, but those few have much to
gain. Savants and craftsmen can gather samples of the
pure element in untainted, undiluted form, to build
great works of craft and sorcery. Just as the jade of the
Imperial Mountain is the purest and most potent, no
mortal flame can match the heat of the Pole of Fire,
and no mortal herb can match the medical potency
of one culled from the Pole of Wood. Diplomats can
negotiate with mighty elementals, or maybe even the
Elemental Dragons themselves. Warriors and leaders
can seek ancient lost weapons, or conquer spirit courts
and strike down gods.
The Fair Folk shun the elemental poles. These are
the domains of spirit courts controlled by powerful el-
ementals. Here, a traveler can hope to find a moment’s
shelter from the constantly changing environment. The
spirits themselves prefer their dwellings as elementally
pure as the rest of the pole, but they do not like their
palaces dissolving into the elemental vortex. The spirits
may even provide special accommodations for guests
who cannot endure the full fury of their element. The
elementals of the poles tend to be arrogant and care
little for humanity, since these elementals usually lack
specific responsibilities elsewhere in Creation, or choose
to disregard them. Visitors may need to prove their worth
and force the elementals to remember what courtesy and
consideration are due the Princes of the Earth.

Basicamente están entre Deep Wyld y Pure Chaos...porque incluse Deep Wyld se sigue considerando parte de la Creación, aunque una muy extraña...jajaja

Y se supone ke allá - en medio del Kaos - estan las cortes de los Dragones Elementales!?

No hay cortes en los Polos que yo sepa. Lo único que puedes encontrar es la morada de poderosos Elementales y a los cinco Dragones Elementales.

Además, si te fijas bien en el texto dice que los Polos utilizan las leyes de la Creación, no del Kaos, así que no hay mutaciones. Ya que los Elementales son inmunes a su elemento en la mayoría de los casos (es más, recuperan salud y se vuelven más fuertes en contacto con él), calculo que los Polos es el mejor lugar para poner una Corte Elemental.

te corrigo mateo
pues de hecho se menciona en los terrestrial directions con los ejemplos de 3 dragones, que son los fluidos: Mela, Danaa'd y Sextes Jylix.
Mela se dice que atiende su corte en el polo en una sola ocasion del año mas o menos
el resto del tiempo se da a entender que mela se disuelve en el aire y viaja a traves de toda creacion.
Wyld 84.

se dice lo mismo de los otros dos, pero no busque sus paginas

Interesante.

asi es...
unica vez que a mela le puedes peticionar algo...
al menos Mela y Danaa'd son mas fijas en visitar su corte

el dragon de madera se da a entender que vagamente lo hace, y es el dragon elemental menor que tiene de subalterno el que sostiene la corte

dicho de paso toda la informacion que hay de los polos elementals y sus cortes sale en The Wyld, al final de cada direccion
con obviedad de la de tierra
ahi mencionan que mela se rehusa atender vastagos que no tengan una cierta edad de 100+ años


pd: HE VUELTO

Muchas gracias por las respuestas! Ahora todo me keda muy claro.
