They are totally separate.  The Void is where the Nameless come from.  He created the Planes of Discord along with the Planes of Power.  They are quite different.In a time long past and forgotten there was darkness. The Nameless existed in the Void and through the power of his will brought into being the Planes of Earth, Fire, Air, and Water. These Planes of Power, or Primary Elemental Planes, were aligned in a great wheel and were sources of almost unlimited raw and natural power. The Planes of Discord, or Secondary Elemental Planes, sprang forth along the borders of the Planes of Power. Water and Earth combining to form Mud. Fire scorching Earth to form Lava. Air mixing with Water to make Fog. Fire burning Air to make Steam. But the Planes of Power and Discord were not the only creations of the Nameless. He plucked a stone from the heart of the Plane of Earth and cast it into the core of the Plane of Fire. He then plunged the stone into the quenching depths of the Plane of Water. Finally, the Nameless waved the stone through the Plane of Air and set it to rest in the center of all he had created. The Material Plane was born, and it teamed with all manner of wonderful creatures. The Nameless then scooped up a hand full of sand from the Plane of Earth and scattered it into the Void. The sand circled the Material and touched all of the Elemental Planes, and, by the power of his will, this sand became the Realm of Heroes, many dimensions ruled by powerful mystical beings who were charged with the task of overseeing and managing the rest of the creations of the Nameless. Over time, in accordance with the design of the Nameless, all of the Elemental planes birthed creatures great and small. While the Planes of Power developed varying systems of structured rule, The Planes of Discord remained realms of chaos. Slowly, as the creatures of the Material became civilized, a ring began to form in the Void, bordering the Elemental Planes and the Realm of Heroes. This ring consists of the Natural Planes and the Planes of Influence, and was birthed from the collective conscience of the Material joined with the will of the Nameless and drawing power from the raw forces of the Elemental Planes. A. The Planes Of Power And Discord: The Planes of Power and Discord are vast sources of raw elemental energy. Each of the Planes Of Power have a Deity or Deities who control it. The Planes of Discord have no such command structure. Little, if anything, is known about the Planes Of Power And Discord by the general population of Norrath. <img src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/Sarah/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot.jpg" alt=""> PLANES OF DISCORD 5. Lava The Plane of Lava consists of countless volcanoes and oceans of lava. The Lava Elementals are the main inhabitants of the Plane. The Planes of War and Justice draw power from this Plane. 6. Mud The Plane of Mud consists of a gooey balls of mud separated by murky oceans. The Mud Elementals are the main inhabitants of the Plane. The Planes of Fear and Hate draw power from this Plane. 7. Fog The Plane of Fog consists of several large continents separated by deep black oceans. The Fog Elementals are the main inhabitants of the Plane. The Planes of Peace and Mischief draw power from this Plane. 8. Steam The Plane of Steam consists of mostly of flat barren fields of stone with countless geysers spewing steam into the gray sky. The Steam Elementals are the main inhabitants of the Plane. The Planes of Love and Valor draw power from this Plane. <div></div>

[Tanatz]

For a second there I was beginning to wonder if there were more than 1 version to the creation story of Norrath, kinda like the Bible, heh.<div></div>

[RaphaNissi]

WOW!  Such harness, and i was just quoting!  By the way, it doesn't talk about the creation of Norrath but of the planes.<div></div>

[Yindari]

<DIV>Yeah, I've definitely seen that somewhere before...
