| Aahi (edit) | Aahi, is the Primordial Spirit of Water. Born from the chaotic energies of Ákyar within the Primordial Void, Aahi represents the ever-flowing force that nurtures life, reshapes the world, and encompasses everywhere that water flows. |
Aahi encompasses all manifestations of water, from small ponds to the oceans themselves. |
Aahi’s domain, Aasila, is a boundless oceanic realm surrounding the earth realm of Dalel. This realm is inhabited by water-spirits and fluid entities that defy fixed form. |
The branch of Osia tied to Aahi is concerned with the shaping, channeling, and awakening of water spirits. Practitioners attune themselves to the subtle consciousness within every drop of water. |

| Konmai (edit) | Konmai is the spirit of time within the cosmology of Adaris. As the Primordial spirit of time, Konmai controls the flow of moments, ensuring the continuity of all life. |
Konmai established its domain, known as Sataa or the Realm of Time, at the intersection of light and dark. Sataa is unique among the realms as it encompasses all the elemental realms within its boundaries, allowing the flow of time to touch every aspect of existence in Adaris. It serves as the space through which the elemental realms move, creating the cyclical nature of day and night and the progression of life. Sataa exists as a vast, liminal space, where the boundaries between realms blur and time flows like a river. Within this realm, Konmai governs the celestial movements of the sun and moon, orchestrating the passage of hours and seasons. Sataa is depicted as an ever-changing landscape, filled with shifting sands, flowing rivers, and eternal twilight, representing the constant ebb and flow of time. While Sataa encompasses all the elemental realms, there are certain domains that lie outside the reach of time. The realms of imagination and consciousness held by Pavkanai and Umalyu, exist beyond the influence of Konmai. These realms are timeless, not bound by the flow of moments that define Sataa. |
The Osia associated with Konmai involves the manipulation of time. Practitioners align themselves with the flow of time tapping into the consciousness of Konmai and related nascent spirits to influence small temporal events. While the manipulation of time is inherently limited and localized, affecting small-scale phenomena over short periods, there are legends of those who have attempted to exert greater influence over time, with varying degrees of success and danger. |

| Metihi (edit) | Metihi, the Primordial Spirit of fire, was born from the chaotic energies of Ákyar within the Primordial Void when Umalyu envisioned something vibrant and energetic in contrast to the stability and unchanging nature of Yairan. Metihi emerged as a dynamic force of energy, capable of both creation and destruction. |
Metihi represents both the nurturing warmth of a hearth and the destructive power of a wildfire. Its influence is felt across the world of Adaris. Metihi embodies the duality of fire, both a creative and destructive force. |
The realm of Metihi, known as Píñáku is a domain of unending fire. Unlike the physical realm, Píñáku is a vast expanse of pure flame, where fire exists in its most primal and unbridled form. It is a sea of never-ending fire, with no other elements present, only the roaring, crackling, and shifting of flames. Píñáku "sits" beneath the physical realm of Adaris, much like the atmosphere rests above. It is believed that certain phenomena in the physical world, such as volcanoes and roaring campfires, serve as direct doorways to this fiery domain. In these moments, the barrier between realms thins, allowing the raw energy of Metihi to burst forth into the world of Adaris. This realm represents the transformative nature of fire, where destruction and renewal are constant. It is a place of great power, where those who seek to master the flames come to understand both the fury and the warmth that fire brings. The energy of Píñáku fuels the fires of the physical world, linking the two realms in an eternal cycle of creation and destruction. |
 A branch of osia that focuses on the manipulation of nascent spirits of fire and heat. Practitioners attune themselves to the transformative energy of Metihi, harnessing its power to create, destroy, and change the world around them. |

| Náiluv (edit) | Náiluv, the Primordial Spirit of darkness and night, emerged from the chaotic energies of Ákyar within the Primordial Void. Born as a counterbalance to the radiance of Tñarilu (light), Náiluv is defines the darkness of night and the mysteries of the unknown. |
Náiluv embodies the night sky and the hidden depths of existence. The physical world of Adaris hangs between the realms of light and dark. As the world turns, it shifts between the influence of Noirra and Qaaniguaq, creating the cycles of day and night. |
The realm of Náiluv, known as Noirra, is a domain of pure darkness. Unlike any other realm, Noirra is a vast expanse where no light can penetrate. It is a place of absolute blackness, where sight is impossible. Noirra is, however, not an empty void. Inhabitants exist there living their lives in total darkness. |
The practice Osia that deals Náiluv, is complex and deals with various manners of darkness. By attuning to nascent spirits of Náiluv’s essence, they can manipulate darkness as a tool, using it to hide or protect. The power of darkness is a dangerous one. Those who dwell too long within the blackness risk becoming lost within, their identities dissolving into the void. |
While depictions of Náiluv exist, they are only interpretations. The true form of Náiluv is that of pure darkness. In art, Náiluv is almost always represented using charcoal and customarily depicted as a man. |

| Pavkanai (edit) | Pavkanai, the Primordial Spirit of Imagination. It emerged in near-tandem with Umalyu, the first consciousness, during the awakening of reality within the Primordial Void. Where Umalyu represents awareness, thought, and structure, Pavkanai is vision, abstraction, and creativity. |
Awemlas' influence is expansive, covering all aspects of imagination, creativity and the possibilities that go along with it. Much of the metaphysical realm stems from Pavkanai in some way. Pavkanai also created the original humans (the Yendea), who first born into the physical realm. All human-based races have aspects of Pavkanai present within themselves. |
Gueroeq is the intangible realm of imagination. Gueroeq is not governed by time or space; it is the field of endless creativity. |
The practice of those who attune to Pavkanai, focuses on the manipulation of dreams, imagination, and possibility. Practitioners are known as Awenlari. |
|

| Tñarilu (edit) | Tñarilu, the Primordial Spirit of Light emerged when Umalyu began to dream of a way out of darkness. |
Tñarilu is the force that fills Adaris with light and warmth. |
The realm of Tñarilu, Qaaniguaq, is a vast and radiant expanse of light. In Qaaniguaq, beams of illumination create a ceaseless display of brilliance and color. Qaaniguaq and Noirra, the realm of darkness, are cosmic counterpoints. As Adaris turns between them, the cycle of day and night is created. |
The branch of Osia associated with Tñarilu, known as Path of Tñarilu, focuses on the manipulation of nascent spirits of light. |

| Yairan (edit) | Yairan is the primordial spirit of Earth within the cosmology of Adaris. It embodies the physical world and represents material solidity and structure. Yairan is considered the physical Earth itself and is regarded as the foundation upon which the other primordial elements act. Yairan arose from the chaotic energies of Ákyar within the primordial void when Umalyu and Pavkanai conceived the idea of physicality and material strength. Through this act, Yairan became the first of the primordial elements to emerge, transforming potential into structured reality and forming the basis of the tangible world. |
Yairan represents all things physical within existence. Its essence is present in stone, mountain, and all material forms. As the embodiment of structure, Yairan anchors the cosmos against the chaos of Ákyar, granting permanence to a reality otherwise defined by constant change. This stability allows the other elements to interact and shape the material world. |
The realm of Yairan is called Dalel. It was the first realm to solidify from the chaos of Ákyar. In its earliest state, Dalel was a vast expanse of stone, devoid of water, flame, air, or life. As the other elemental realms came into being, Dalel’s surface was eroded and reshaped through their influence, creating the diverse forms of terrain that now define the physical world. Dalel occupies a central position among the elemental realms. It lies beneath the realm of Air, known as Zayam, and above the realm of Fire, called Píñáku. The realm of Water, Aasila, surrounds these, encompassing all fluid elements within the material plane. |
Yairania is the branch of Osia dedicated to the manipulation of pure earth. Practitioners of Yairania can move terrain, shape stone, and commune with the latent spirits that dwell within the earth. This discipline is viewed as a direct expression of Yairan’ power and essence. |
As one of the six primordial spirits, Yairan holds a foundational position in the cosmology of Adaris. It is through Yairan that the physical world came into existence. While the realms of Fire, Water, and Air have distinct domains, their actions ultimately influence and reshape Dalel, the realm of Earth, which remains the central foundation of all material reality. |

| Yavi (edit) | Yavi, the Primordial Spirit of atmosphere, embodies the essence of air, breath, and the invisible forces that bind all living things together. Born from the chaotic energies of Ákyar within the Primordial Void, Yavi emerged as an ethereal breath when Umalyu realized that an atmosphere was needed for life to flourish. Yavi provides the vital air that sustains all forms of life and is the very embodiment of freedom, movement, and change. |
Yavi is the invisible wind that moves across the world, the very air we breathe, the gusts that fill sails, and the winds that shape landscapes. Yavi’s presence is felt in every breath taken by living beings and in the silent whispers of the winds that traverse the world of Adaris. The primordial spirit of atmosphere governs the realm of Zayam, where air takes on a life of its own, forming a dynamic environment of winds, clouds, and ethereal beings. Yavi represents freedom and change, governing the unseen forces that move without constraint. It is the gentle breeze and the fierce storm, the breath of life and the winds of transformation. Yavi’s influence is everywhere, whether in the playful dance of leaves caught in a gust or the terrifying might of a hurricane. |
The realm of Yavi, known as Zayam, is a boundless expanse of sky and atmosphere. It is a realm of pure air, where the sky stretches infinitely and is filled with drifting clouds, powerful winds, and mystical beings like the Caelites and Sky Drifters. In Zayam, the air is sacred and alive, a constant dance of winds that carry the breath of Yavi throughout Adaris. Zayam is a realm of perpetual movement and change, reflecting the free-spirited nature of Yavi. The winds here are unpredictable, constantly shifting in strength and direction, creating a world where nothing is static. This realm sits above the physical world, embracing it with an atmosphere that sustains life and connects all living beings through the air they share. Zayam is crucial to the cosmic balance, complementing the realms of earth, fire, light, and darkness. It represents the breath of life, the unseen force that ties all beings together, and the energy that fuels movement, growth, and change. |
Focuses on the manipulation of nascent spirits of wind, air, and the atmosphere. Practitioners attune themselves to the spirits of the air, harnessing the winds to move freely through the world, shape the environment, and channel the breath of life into everything they touch |
Yavi is revered throughout Adaris as the giver of life and a symbol of freedom, movement, and change. Temples and shrines dedicated to Yavi are often located in high places, open to the skies, or built to capture the wind, reflecting the spirit's connection to the air and the heavens. These spaces are designed to let the wind flow freely, with open structures and fluttering banners that dance in the breeze. Travelers, sailors, and adventurers often pray to Yavi for safe journeys and favorable winds. Rituals in honor of Yavi include offerings of incense, feathers, and other light objects that are released into the wind, symbolizing the release of worries and the embracing of freedom. Communities also gather during festivals to celebrate the changing seasons and the life-giving air, honoring Yavi's role in the balance of nature and the interconnectedness of all life. |
