|Introduction='''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, [[Umalyu]] and [[Pavkanai]], predate the existence of the physical universe, while others emerged from the interplay of thought, imagination, and elemental forces.
|Introduction=The '''Primordial Spirits''' are the first and most fundamental spirits in Adarian cosmology. There are nine. The first two, [[Umalyu]] and [[Pavkanai]], arose in the [[Napadéh]] before anything else existed. The other seven, who embody darkness, light, earth, fire, air, water, and time, arose from the interaction of the two.

A Primordial Spirit is not separate from the thing it embodies. When [[Yairan]] was thought into being, earth was thought into being with him.
|Origin and Nature==== The first two ===
* [[Umalyu]] – The first consciousness. It emerged from the [[Ákyar]] of the Napadéh, and all other spirits derive from it.
* [[Pavkanai]] – The spirit of imagination, creativity, and dreaming. She arose from Umalyu.


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 seven ===
|Origin and Nature==== The Primary Primordial Spirits ===
Seven further spirits arose from the interaction of Umalyu's consciousness and Pavkanai's imagination. In order of emergence, they are:
The first spirits to emerge from the chaos of the [[Napadéh]] were Umalyu (Consciousness) and Pavkanai (Imagination). Through their interplay, the fundamental aspects of reality took shape.


* Umalyu – The First Consciousness, self-awareness itself, from which all spirits derive their essence.
* [[Náiluv]] – The spirit of darkness.
* Pavkanai – The Spirit of Boundless Imagination, the dreamer of all possibilities, fueling creation.
* [[Tñarilu]] – The spirit of light.
* [[Yairan]] – The spirit of earth.
* [[Metihi]] – The spirit of fire.
* [[Yavi]] – The spirit of air.
* [[Aahi]] – The spirit of water.
* [[Konmai]] – The spirit of time. He emerged last, near the end of the [[Great Erosion]].


As their thoughts shaped reality, other fundamental forces emerged:
Yairan, Metihi, Yavi, and Aahi are the four elemental spirits, and what they embody are the four [[Primordial Element|Primordial Elements]]. Náiluv, Tñarilu, and Konmai are Primordial Spirits but are not counted among the elements.
|Role in the Cosmos=Each Primordial Spirit has a realm. [[Dalel]] is the realm of earth, [[Píñáku]] of fire, [[Zayam]] of air, and [[Aasila]] of water. [[Qaaniguaq]] is the realm of light and [[Woncu]] the realm of darkness, and between them they give day and night. [[Q'ommer]], the realm of time, encompasses the others. [[Homhuen]], the realm of imagination, lies outside time.


* [[Konmai]] – The Spirit of Time, governing the flow of existence, past, present, and future.
The four elemental spirits fought over Dalel in the [[Great Erosion]]. The [[Ascendant Spirit|Ascendant Spirits]] arose only afterward.
* [[Tñarilu]] – The Spirit of Light, illumination, clarity, and the force that reveals.
|Influence and Manipulation in Osia=The paths of [[Osia]] are named for Primordial Spirits, such as the [[Path of Yairan]] and the [[Path of Náiluv]]. A path is not something inherent in the spirit. It is a human tradition, comparable to a religion, made up of people who study how to manipulate the lesser spirits associated with that Primordial Spirit.
* [[Náiluv]] – The Spirit of Darkness, mystery, the unknown, and the hidden depths of existence.


From the energies of the Primordial Elements, four elemental spirits were born, serving as the foundation of the physical world:
Umalyu is an exception. A path of Umalyu exists in theory but is not practised. Umalyu is instead the source of a number of religions.
 
|Role In Everyday Life=The Primordial Spirits are revered throughout [[Adaris]], though forms of worship vary between cultures and regions. Some regard them as distant, and others hold that they act in the world and influence the lives of mortals. Temples, shrines, and rituals dedicated to them are common, and many people seek their blessing for health, prosperity, and guidance.
* [[Yairan]] – The Spirit of Earth, solidity, endurance, and the foundation of all physical matter.

* [[Metihi]] – The Spirit of Fire, transformation, passion, and the force of creation and destruction.
* [[Ákyar]]
* [[Yavi]] – The Spirit of Air, freedom, breath, movement, and unseen currents.
* [[Aahi]] – The Spirit of Water, fluidity, adaptability, and life’s sustaining force.
|Role In Everyday Life=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.
