Prime Elementals

Two pantheons exist in Alaria—the New Order, and the Prime Elementals. The New Order consists of what most commoners refer to as the gods. The Prime Elementals are a much older pantheon, consisting of only 8 siblings, protectors and guardians of all Alaria. Unlike the New Order gods, the Prime Guardians are immortal, apolitical, and un-beholden. Few worship the Prime Elementals besides the Saurus, but they were once the only gods, worshipped by the First Peoples. Four sets of twins exist, each twin an owner, creator, and destroyer of one of the four elements—Earth, Water, Air, and Fire. None have any alignment, for they remain out of the affairs of those on Eko. For this reason, prayers to these gods rarely go answered, except for perhaps a flicker of a candle or a gust of wind to acknowledge your voice. The Prime Elementals were tasked long ago by Zyxus to protect the world at all costs from the evil of the Absinthe Stone, and nothing more. They stay out of all affairs of the mortals, but they do intervene, the results are catastrophic. Once, when the Absinthe Stone overcame the people of Alaria long ago, the Guardians stepped in, and wiped the world of all people in a cleansing that was named the Sundering. Civilizations disappeared, as did entire races. The world was left to rebuild, temporarily void of all good and evil—a fresh start.
