An elemental pole is one of the five cardinal points of Creation. In the North is the Elemental Pole of Air, in the East is the Elemental Pole of Wood, in the South is the Elemental Pole of Fire, and in the West is the Elemental Pole of Water. These four poles act as the boundaries of shaped Creation, beyond which lies only the Wyld. At the center of the Blessed Isle lies the Elemental Pole of Earth, the central axis of Creation, upon whose stability all else relies. It is claimed by some that Creation revolves around the central pole of Earth, and that this revolution is the cause of the seasons, though other savants say it is the Heavens that move instead.
