With each thought, emotion, and vision, Daathir and Awenlas unknowingly shaped the Astram around them. From their interplay, the Primordial Elements emerged. These are the fundamental forces of Adaris, each representing a different aspect of existence:
With each thought, emotion, and vision, Daathir and Awenlas unknowingly shaped the Astram around them. From their interplay, the Primordial Elements emerged. These are the fundamental forces of Adaris, each representing a different aspect of existence:


* '''Dharas''': The [[Primordial spirit|Primordial Spirit]] of light, representing illumination, clarity, and enlightenment. [[Dharas]] embodies the revealing power of consciousness—shedding light on darkness and unveiling the hidden truths of the universe.

* '''Arafia''': The spirit of darkness, embodying mystery, the unknown, and the hidden depths of existence. [[Arafia]] is not merely the absence of light, but a presence in her own right—a force that shapes the world as surely as light. Dharas and Arafia are not oppositional but exist in balance: neither dominant nor passive.

* '''Oras''': The spirit of earth, symbolizing stability, endurance, and the physical manifestation of dreams. Oras arises when thought seeks permanence, crystallizing into form.
Oras: The spirit of earth, embodying solidity, mass, and geological memory. Oras is present in stone, mountain, and strata—everything that resists change and endures across time. It is the anchor of all physical realms, shaping terrain, holding structures, and housing the long memory of the world.
* '''Tejas''': The spirit of fire, representing transformation, dynamic energy, and the dual nature of creation and destruction. Tejas emerges from the passion of both forming and unmaking.
Tejas: The spirit of fire, manifesting as heat, combustion, and volatile energy. Tejas governs eruption, ignition, and transformation through destruction. It is found in flame, lava, and lightning—wherever energy breaks bonds and remakes matter.
* '''Shasae''': The spirit of atmosphere, embodying air, breath, and the unseen forces that bind living things. Shasae is the bridge between the tangible and intangible, representing communication, motion, and change.
Shasae: The spirit of air, governing wind, pressure, and breath. Shasae is movement itself—present in gusts, drafts, whispers, and storms. It carries scent, sound, and change across the realms, binding distant things and enabling all things that move or speak.
* '''Jala''': The spirit of water, symbolizing fluidity, adaptability, and the life-force of the world. Jala is the medium where dreams and reality intermingle, constantly shifting.
Jala: The spirit of water, embodying flow, cohesion, and erosion. Jala moves through rain, rivers, and tides—carving paths, nourishing life, and wearing down stone. It connects and separates, cleanses and swallows, always adapting to the space it occupies.
 


The creation of these primordial elements marked the first structured aspects of reality. Dharas and Arafia formed a delicate balance between illumination and mystery, while [[Kairos]], the spirit of time, ensured that existence would always move forward. The physical elements—Oras, Tejas, Shasae, and Jala—provided the raw foundation for the world of [[Adaris]].
