Primordia

Welcome to Primordia

A world born from ruin, shaped by gods, and saved by the elemental.

Centuries ago, the mighty continent of Eldamar was reduced to rubble. From its ashes rose a new world—Primordia—and with it, the chance to rebuild civilization.

In the final days of Eldamar, the gods still walked the material plane in mortal form. They manipulated their followers into waging war and committing unspeakable acts, each hoping to reshape the world in their own image. Over the years, scholars and arcane scientists attempted to sever the gods’ influence or trap them entirely, with varying degrees of success.

One scholar in the city of Ifend came closer than any before. But in the final hours of her work, her ritual was interrupted, leaving behind a volatile mote of pure magical energy—the Ley Orb .

The Ley Orb quickly became the most coveted object in the world. Gods and mortals alike waged brutal wars over its power. Each time it changed hands, its wielder used it to subtly shift reality to align with their vision. But with every use, the orb grew more unstable. Spells fueled by its energy became unpredictable, twisting reality in increasingly dangerous ways.

After decades of bloodshed, the orb was used in one final, desperate ritual. The result was catastrophic: the Ley Orb detonated, unleashing all of its energy in a single, world-ending burst of raw magic—an event now known as The Rending .

The force of the Rending tore Eldamar apart—but it also awakened the Primordials: ancient beings of pure elemental power who had shaped the world in ages long forgotten. Realizing their creation was on the brink of collapse, the Primordials intervened to preserve what they could:

• Melakka , the earth primordial, plunged Bhurnfaldur deep into the mountain it once sat atop, shielding it from the blast.
• Vayu-Vata , the wind primordial, hurled the city of Lama Taesi into the sky.
• Fornax , the fire primordial, encased Crankwall in an inferno to keep destruction at bay.
• Boann , the water primordial, saved the underwater city of Vaponoch , though its location has since been lost to time and tide.

In the aftermath, the shattered world was renamed Primordia—a tribute to the elemental forces that made survival possible. The once-whole continent was reduced to a vast sprawl of islands, scattered across a sea of uncertainty.

Centuries have passed since the Rending. Civilization has reemerged, forged anew in the crucible of catastrophe. The people of Primordia adapted, banded together, and began to rebuild.

Now, in this Age of Grand Composition, the archipelagos of Primordia teem with forgotten ruins, ancient magics, dangerous secrets, and untold treasures. For those bold enough to seek them, adventure waits on every shore.
