Primitives were the first mortal lives appeared on Arken, they're known for having derivated by worshipping Primogenitum and Archeus.

Though at first, there were eleven groups of Primitives, only one lived on Arken continuously, until "Primitive" only came to refer to them. Others have mutated into the species who worship Primogenitum such as angels (For Asherah), demons (For Diablo) or humans (For Archeus).

## Summary of History

The Primitives are among the first lives appeared on Arken, coming from the Birth Pools, the acid lakes of Arken. Neither the mightiest nor the biggest species appeared, the first Primitives used their intellect and ability to evolve, combined with the harsh conditions of the planet such as the temperature changes, frequent thunderstorms, arid lands and acid water zones, to which Primitives, coming from there, were fully immune since birth. Once fully evolved to Arken, they came out of their pools and conquered most of the lands of Arken. Establishing there were the first Primitive Nations, tribal and regional in nature, and eventually an union in what would be named the United Empire of Primitivekind, led by the ancestors of what is now the Voctimen Family. After the empire collapsed, the Primitives returned to regional Groups until the Great Choice where, for the first time, they would gather by religion and not by region, spreading of the culture of each Group.

## Characteristics

The Primitive species is able to evolve quickly, constantly changing to survive longer. They're also faster and stronger than other mortal species and are naturally able to see supernatural species' true forms. They are also still fertile as they are mortal, and live around two hundred years. They have poisonous blood, and a natural immunity to the Stoneskin Plague. Following the War of Seven, they started to get natural armour-like skin, in order to protect themselves.
