'''Primordial Elements''' are the fundamental forces that shape the world of [[Adaris]], born from the chaotic energies of the [[Astram]] within the [[Primordial Void]]. As the primordial spirits of Adaris, they represent the essential aspects of existence, each embodying a unique element and playing a crucial role in the creation and sustenance of the universe.

The primordial elements came into existence through the interplay of thought and imagination between [[Daathir]] and [[Awenlas]]. With each thought, emotion, and vision, Daathir and Awenlas unknowingly began to shape the Astram around them. From this dance of consciousness and imagination, the primordial elements emerged, each embodying a distinct aspect of reality and consciousness.

== The Ascendant Elements ==
== Osia and the Manipulation of the Primordial Elements ==
As the original Primordial Elements began to interact, new forces emerged, blending the essence of multiple elements into unique, transitional powers. These Ascendant Elements arose from the natural fusion of their predecessors, forming distinct realms and governing key aspects of the world of Adaris.
The manipulation of the Primordial Elements in Adaris is carried out through the practice of [[Osia]], a mystical art that allows practitioners to influence the conscious particles of matter. Each element contains its own form of elemental consciousness, derived from Daathir's mind, which Osiari can tap into. By aligning their consciousness with the elemental spirits, Osiari can influence these fundamental forces in the physical and metaphysical realms.


Unlike their predecessors, these spirits did not emerge directly from the Astram, but instead, coalesced over time as the primary elements interacted, forging new domains and concepts within existence.
Osiari train extensively to attune themselves to the specific element they wish to manipulate. Mastery over an element requires not only mental discipline but a deep understanding of the element’s nature and consciousness. Through their mastery, Osiari can influence the world around them—shaping landscapes, controlling natural phenomena, and even affecting the metaphysical realms connected to the Primordial Elements.

== The Role of Ascendant Elements ==
The Ascendant Elements serve as bridges between fundamental forces, acting as transitional energies that influence the natural and metaphysical balance of Adaris. While the original Primordial Spirits|Primordial Spirits created the building blocks of existence, these spirits formed the intricate details, shaping the diverse landscapes, phenomena, and concepts that define the world.
 
Some of these spirits govern natural cycles, such as Arenam’s shifting sands or Thalassor’s control over tides, while others, like Umbrasil, mediate the boundaries between two opposing forces.
 
The emergence of the Ascendant Elements also led to the creation of unique realms, each blending aspects of their progenitor elements. These spirits continue to shape the land, influence mortal civilizations, and guide the balance between elemental forces.

While most Osiari focus on manipulating the physical aspects of these elements, some seek deeper connections to the elemental consciousness, allowing them to influence emotions, thoughts, and even spiritual aspects tied to their chosen element.
