Primordials

The Primordials, sometimes referred to as Chaos Lords, were impossibly powerful beings created of entropic and elemental energies. Prior to the coming of the Cardinal Gods, they ruled over the chaotic universe that predates the current one.

History
Knowledge of the Primordials is esoteric at best, completely unknown to most. Very few mortals have had the opportunity to even hear whispers of the Primordials' existence, let alone their history and fledgling culture. The only location of complete collection of knowledge on Primordials is located at the Apeiros Library—a divine repository shared between all Cardinal Gods—curated by Mimiron, God of Knowledge.

Known Primordials
Few of the Chaos Lords' names reverberate through the annuls of history, but even mortals will instinctively recognize the screams of creation itself.

Primordas
First among the Primordals from which all others were spewed, Primordas is the single greatest threat to all of creation. So indomitable was its power that the Cardinal Gods were not able to slay it entirely, instead only separating its power into seven pieces. Four of these pieces became the hearts of the Four Elemental Lords. One was sealed away into the Prime-Material Plane, from whom it got its name, guarded by the collected effort of the Cardinal Gods. The sixth is believed to be absorbed by Vaers and Vinkeg in their duties of balancing Nature and the elements. The final piece rests unknown even to the Cardinal Gods, sequestered away by Ashmedae as per his duty demanded by the Divine Mandate.

Tyfonas
The only other named Chaos Lord known to mortal scholars. Tyfonas is only recognized as a former mate of Cystila and father to the Titans, who went on to further create the giantkin. Little else is known of the elder being, even of its fate or current location. Some titans hold faith that their progenitor lays in rest, waiting for the day which Primodas returns and reignites the war upon the upstart Gods. Giantskin mistakenly regard Tyfonas as a god himself, worshiping him as the All-father Fǫtun, yet still posessing clerical abilities. How this is possible is a topic of hot debate among Jotnarologists.

The Elemental Lords
Though sometimes mistaken as Primordials, the Elemental Lords are lesser derivatives of their forebears, weak imitations with only a fraction of the powers of true Primordials. The Elemental Lords have grown weaker each generation, splitting their strength in each even lesser elemental formed.
