ABOUT

An obsidian elemental is merged of equal parts earth and fire, arising in the vast felsic fields that flow and melt in burning oceans along the verges where the two elemental planes intersect. They are hulking piles of faceted black stone, streaked with white striations, spiderwebbed cracks, razor-sharp shards, and a seething molten core within.
