 History/Relationships:  Before the gods, it is believed the world was raw. Mountains erupted from the ground, tornados whipped across the landscape, oceans tore land apart and fire flowed like water. It was a world where civilizations could never stand and the only things that could survive were born of the chaos and primal forces. When the deities were spawned, they learned that they could craft and calm this turbulent wasteland, creating safe patches and coasts, limiting the power of volcanos and forcing fire underground. The raw chaos rebelled against this control and slowly formed into something sentient, the entity known as Primus. When he lashed out at the gods, he stole a tiny portion of their power and their sentience before being locked away, held below ground on an unknown plane of existence, in a hole where neither water nor wind nor fire could reach him. Despite this his anger and the raw emotion of the flailing primal god lashes out. He is believed to be the source of much of the natural disasters that plague the world. The hands of Primus are a group of four minor deities, each with their own small pool of worshipers, representing the four warring prime elements.

 Dogma:  Bring the downfall of civilization. Let the world return to where it belongs. This time of calm and ordered elements is only a blip, an anomaly, one that will fade eventually when the world returns to the raw elements of which it was born. Speed this change, work to undermine the works of civilization and spread the chaos.

 Clergy and Temples:  The vast portion of the worshipers of Primus as elementals or elementally tied creatures. Some ancient breeds of bestial entities, including a small number of dragons (notably few, as most dragons are unwilling to concede to a greater power of any sort). Some of the cults of Primus are known to kidnap and indoctrinate youth into the belief in The Primordial Lord before sending them back to civilization to wreak havoc.
