Primordial Spirit

The primordial spirits are the fundamental entities in Adarian cosmology, embodying the essence of creation and shaping the world through the aspect of consciousness. Two of these Spirits, Daathir and Awenlas, predate the existence of the physical universe, while others emerged from the interplay of thought, imagination, and elemental forces.

The primary primordial spirits are those that directly shaped the structure of existence itself, including the core forces of Time, Light, and Darkness, along with the primordial elements. However, as the universe expanded and consciousness deepened, secondary primordial spirits arose, embodying abstract forces that govern reality, thought, and destiny.

The primary primordial spirits edit

The first spirits to emerge from the chaos of the Primordial Void were Daathir (Consciousness) and Awenlas (Imagination). Through their interplay, the fundamental aspects of reality took shape.

• Daathir – The First Consciousness, self-awareness itself, from which all spirits derive their essence.
• Awenlas – The Spirit of Boundless Imagination, the dreamer of all possibilities, fueling creation.

As their thoughts shaped reality, other fundamental forces emerged:

• Kairos – The Spirit of Time, governing the flow of existence, past, present, and future.
• Dharas – The Spirit of Light, illumination, clarity, and the force that reveals.
• Arafia – The Spirit of Darkness, mystery, the unknown, and the hidden depths of existence.

From the energies of the Primordial Elements, six elemental spirits were born, serving as the foundation of the physical world:

• Oras – The Spirit of Earth, solidity, endurance, and the foundation of all physical matter.
• Tejas – The Spirit of Fire, transformation, passion, and the force of creation and destruction.
• Shasae – The Spirit of Air, freedom, breath, movement, and unseen currents.
• Jala – The Spirit of Water, fluidity, adaptability, and life’s sustaining force.

The secondary primordial spirits edit

As Adaris coalesced, new primordial spirits emerged, embodying intangible and abstract forces that shape the metaphysical aspects of existence:

• Veyatha – The Spirit of Illusion, weaving the boundary between truth and deception.
• Xythir – The Spirit of Perception, governing how beings interpret and experience reality.
• Saelios – The Spirit of Knowledge, the ever-growing force of learning and understanding.
• Thirasis – The Spirit of Dreams, bridging the conscious and unconscious realms.
• Lutharos – The Spirit of Fate, the unseen hand guiding destiny and inevitability.
• Nyssara – The Spirit of Shadows, existing between light and darkness, the realm of secrets.
• Inovar – The Spirit of Innovation, the ever-driving force of progress and invention.
• Zethyros – The Spirit of Paradox, where contradictions coexist, shaping duality.
• Tessara – The Spirit of Emotion, embodying the raw, untamed forces of feeling.
• Vaelith – The Spirit of Will, the force of determination and individual agency.
• Eryxas – The Spirit of Death, the inevitable cycle of endings and beginnings.

These secondary primordial spirits arose as the universe became more complex, ensuring that existence was not just matter and energy, but also thought, perception, destiny, and emotion.

The primordial spirits are revered throughout Adaris, though the specific forms of worship vary across cultures and regions. Some see them as distant, abstract forces, while others believe they actively intervene in the world, guiding the course of events and influencing the lives of mortals. Temples, shrines, and rituals dedicated to the Primordial Spirits are commonplace, and many seek their blessings for health, prosperity, and guidance.
