The Four Primordial Entities

The four primordial entities are ancient beings of great power who are revered across the four tribes. Even if one does not directly worship them, they are often raised in a culture that does and this may affect their actions. One of the reasons reverence of these entities is so widespread is that each of the four have many aspects, which will be revered depending on a village’s beliefs and location. The entities as a whole are entirely neutral, though aspects of them may be personified as good or evil.

Generally, the four are at odds with each other, with each entity vying for control over swathes of territory. Devout followers of the different entities may clash with each other, though casual followers will likely not bother. Additionally, while aspects of an entity may have different moral alignments and goals, the entities discourage followers of different aspects from conflicting with each other.

A cleric’s relationship with the primordial entities is distant and impersonal. Upholding the entity’s tenants grants them power, sure, but the entity’s will is rarely directly revealed to them and may only be inferred through signs written in embers, dirt, rain or wind. Clerics of the elemental entities are slated with the difficult task of inferring their entity’s will without their input which has led to many fractures between groups and the adoption of so many different aspects of the same entity.

The Four Entities are; The Consuming Flame, The Crumbling Earth, The Sundering Sea and The Endless Sky.
