Al-Qadim is the campaign setting for Zakhara, the Land of Fate, as the Forgotten Realms is the campaign setting for Faerun. Both, along with Kara-tur and Maztica are set on the Prime world of Toril. It is a land of deserts, lush river valleys and jungles, as well as adventure-filled seas in the style of "1001 Arabian Nights" (Sinbad, Aladdin, Ali-Baba, etc.).
Its connection to the planes is primarily through the genies and the elemental+planes. The powers of the Al-Qadim setting are idealized and impersonal, reprenting such things as courage, adventure, freedom, song, etc. and act on the Material+Plane only through their worshippers.
