The Primordial Record

Chapter 1456  The Gathering Of The Eldarah

At the roots of the Tree of Life, which surrounded a vast area that connected all of reality and the Abyss, with links to light and darkness and the many fundamental forces of creation and destruction, an expansive green sea resided, whose volume was enough to flood all of known reality, the Memory of the sleeping Primordial Life. It was tranquil, and no waves passed across its endless expanse, but for the faint green mist that arose from it, there were rumors that if someone could watch the flowing mist for long, they might be able to decipher some particularly deep enlightenment on the application of Life Aether.

The sleep of a Primordial was quite different from any life in existence, both mortal and immortal, due to the weight of their existence being so vast that their mere waking thoughts would reshape reality on a vast scale. In the Primordial Era, the weight of existence was different, there had been Primordial Essence floating through the fabrics of reality, deeply intertwined with it, and it was this Essence that gave all of reality the foundations to hold the weight of a Primordial, however, at the end of the Primordial Era, every single drop of pure Primordial Essence had been harvested and shared amongst themselves, what was left was a lesser form of energy Aether, and energy like that was like air when Primordials were meant to walk on metal, it could not support them.

Victims of their own success, whether by accident or design, the Primordials could no longer roam reality, because by their actions they had weakened it to such an extent that their Era was gone, and no one else would be able to see their glory again, and they could only fall into a deep slumber where nothing could awaken them except the end of reality itself.

They did not fear for the safety of reality or their domains since no Primordial Essence was floating around; the chance that there would be any powerful Old Ones going against them was reduced to nearly zero, for only an infinite power source could be used to fight against beings who could only be regarded as infinite themselves.
