Such beings are devoid of physical or spiritual appearance, they are more than beings or deities, they are concepts, living forces, the Primordials are words, names, ideas, etc., being beyond existing or not existing, being or not being. It would not be absurd to think that they are impersonal beings, existing only as forces in Creation.Īlthough collectively described as "blind" and "mindless", this is only because of the limited perspective of lower entities, as they are actually utterly beyond all understanding, human or otherwise, and operate at much higher levels that make most of them as completely impersonal entities. Then, just as a bacterium could not understand the thoughts of a human being, a human cannot understand the thoughts of a Primordial, however foolish it may be.
The Primordials main duty is to maintain Creation under the watchful eye of their progenitor Khaos and God himself. Most Primordials did come from Khaos or one of their avatars like Amatsu-Mikaboshi, but some of them did came from God, such as Brahman. A few of them were occasionally described or portrayed in anthropomorphic form, however these forms were inevitably inseparable from their native element.Įven though the main primordials are Greek, not all Primordials came from them. They were, for the most part, purely elemental beings example such as Ouranos being the Sky and Gaia being the Earth. An example of this is Elaine Belloc, daughter of Michael, who upon ascending to a Supreme God, she lost her original self who was Michael's daughter, no longer having a principle or beginning.Īs the first born of the immortals, who formed the very fabric of the universe, they were primarily known in Greek mythology as the Protogenoi (protos meaning "first," and genos "born"). Due to this, any entity that becomes a primordial, will end up having all its versions of the Multiverse, in the past, present and future, erased due to existing beyond time itself, no longer having a principle and being its own cause. Primordials are cosmic entities that precede the universe, they do not have a beginning, they are their own cause, with their parents and creators being, ultimately, their pre-existential self. The Primordials also had children known as the Second-Generation Primordials. The Primordials were used as tools of power during the war against Azathoth and God. They all embodiment concepts which includes earth, air, sea, sky, water, underworld, darkness, night, light, day, procreation and time. It is generally believed that the Primordials represent the "light" of creation while their counterparts the Outer Gods represent the dark. Although relatively weaker when compared to God, Khaos, Azathoth and the other such entities, these beings are still regarded across the cosmos as the next most powerful beings in all of creation. They are among the most powerful beings in all of Creation, rivaling the Arcuthas, Outer Gods, and even the Endless, while surpassing all True Archangels in power and strength, and are credited as the ancestors of all Gods. 7.7 Kotoamatsukami (Japanese Primordials).
