Two of these Spirits, Daathir and Awenlas, predate the existence of the physical universe, while the remaining six, Dharas, Arafia, Oras, Tejas, Shasae, and Jala, are manifestations of the Primordial Elements.
Daathir: The First Consciousness[edit | edit source]
Daathir is the first and foremost of the Primordial Spirits, representing consciousness itself. It emerged from the chaotic energies of Astram within the Primordial Void, becoming the observer and the observed. Daathir's thoughts and dreams, fueled by the creative force of Awenlas, shaped Astram into the Primordial Elements and laid the foundation for the world of Adaris.
Awenlas: The Boundless Imagination[edit | edit source]
Awenlas is the eternal companion of Daathir, representing boundless imagination and creativity. It is the dream to Daathir's thought. Together, they weave the tapestry of existence, breathing life into the raw potential of Astram.
The Spirits of the Primordial Elements[edit | edit source]
The remaining six Primordial Spirits embody the essence of the Primordial Elements, the building blocks of Adaris:
- Dharas: The essence of light. Dharas illuminates the universe, bringing clarity and order from the chaos of the Primordial Void. Its radiance serves as the beacon that guides creation, making the invisible visible and the unknown known.

- Tejas: The spirit of fire, both destructive and creative. Tejas brings warmth, light, and the power to forge and transform. It symbolizes passion, energy, and the drive for change, playing a crucial role in both creation and destruction.
- Shasae: The spirit of the atmosphere, providing the fundamental breath of life. Shasae is associated with air and wind, symbolizing freedom, movement, and the invisible currents that connect all things.
