## Overview

Long lost home of the light and dark flafs. Moved further and further away from the other islands and later split into two smaller islands as a result of plate tectonics, isolating the light and dark flafs from the rest of the world.

## History

### Pre-Discovery

**Creation**

Long ago, when the deities created the ancestors of flafs, the inhabitants of Primordial Island were among the other flafs that came into existence.

**Fading Memories**

Over the course of millions of years, Primordial Island began to move far away from the other islands of the archipelago. The primordial flafs eventually forgot about the existence of the other flafs as the island moves farther and farther and their lives slowly began to change.

**Pre-Separation**

Primordial Island was still in once piece and nothing much has changed for the primordial flafs. However, flafs living near the center of the island began to report earthquakes that seemed to become more frequent.

**Post-Separation**

After millions of years, the island had split into two smaller landmasses, separating the flafs. However, this did not stop them from building bridges so they can access the other side.

**Turning Point**

At this point, primordial flafs have now begun to evolve into two separate species: light and dark. The light and dark flafs still had a few of the primordial flaf's powers such as the ability to change the physical properties of their bodies. These abilities will stay until thousands of years later.

**Pre-Civil War**

Light flafs have begun to believe that they are the superior species and they were destined to rule over both halves of Primordial Island. Dark flafs have developed a similar ideology and soon, the relationship between the two species quickly began to sour. Disputes began to escalate, and soon the flafs were at each other's throats. In the midst of the chaos, one of the flafs were attacked. Both sides were quick to blame the other and they soon declared war on each other.

**Civil War**

Both types of flafs have declared war on each other. For the next eleven years, the island saw some of the most brutal battles ever recorded. Even the casualties of the territorial disputes between the much older primordial flafs paled in comparison to this war. It was perhaps the bloodiest event in Primordial Island history. This war was also the cause of a massive arms race. Both types of flafs were working to develop new weapons and strategy to outdo the other.

**Post-Civil War**

Light and Dark flafs set their differences aside and begin to help each other recover from the war. Thousands of flafs had been injured, killed, or went missing during the war. Both species realized that what they really wanted was peace. They should have been working with one another, not fighting each other until they would eventually eradicate themselves. The recovery process was slow at first due to lingering thoughts of distrust, but over time, the process sped up as distrust between the two types faded.

### Post-Discovery

**Curiosity**

The Light and Dark flafs have begun to use metals much more frequently and created things like elevators, telegraphs, the works. Around this time, the light and dark flafs had also made some new discoveries. The abundance of ores in Shadowsong mountain, the readily available heat from the Forge, and something that they'd never thought they would find: other islands inhabited by flafs. For now, the light and dark flafs are still very cautious about the "Distant Lands" as they call them and they tend to avoid interacting with the other islands. Who knows? Maybe they'll open up and interact with the other flafs in the future.

## Territory

### The Forge

Although the Forge isn't a part of the island itself, it is still accessible by both light and dark flafs and it's impossible to miss. The Forge is an active volcano off the coast of Primordial island. As the light and dark flafs began to use metals more and more, they needed a way to smelt the ore they found. As the years went on, light flafs began to build a factory into the side of the volcano. Dark flafs later helped with the construction and provided the materials needed to connect ziplines from the island to the volcano. The factory was finally completed and the flafs named it, along with the volcano that it rested on, "The Forge". There are rumors that the Forge isn't what it seems. Trouble may be brewing and it could potentially leave hundreds, possibly even thousands dead or hurt. However, those working at the Forge neither confirm nor deny these rumors.

### Shadowsong Mountain

Shadowsong Mountain is a mountain located on the dark flafs' half of Primordial Island with an abundant amount of raw metals. As the light and dark flafs slowly began to trust each other after the civil war, dark flafs would trade the metals they mined in this mountain for food and other materials that the light flafs had. Usually, the flafs who mined in this mountain would sing as they mined. Their voices would echo through the caves and could sometimes even be heard by those passing by the entrance to the mines, giving the mountain it's name.

### Radiant Valley

Radiant Valley is a valley located on the light flafs' half of Primordial Island. The soil here is rich in nutrients. Coupled with the ample source of water from nearby waterfalls, this place is perfect for growing food and raising livestock. As the light and dark flafs slowly began to trust each other after the civil war, the light flafs would usually trade whatever they grew and raised for metals mined by the dark flafs. The sunrises and sunsets here are beautiful, painting brilliant shades of pink and orange across the sky.

## Government

Primordial flafs had lived with an aristocratic form of government and it has remained like this until after the Primordian Civil War. After the war, the light and dark flafs have adopted a more federalist government.

## Culture

**War Memorial**

This is somewhat self-explanatory. On this day, flafs from both sides of the island gather and remember the thousands who died during the civil war. On this day, flafs do not speak to each other or do anything that makes a large amount of noise, leaving both sides of the island in eerie silence.

## Alliances

((since im assuming that Primordial Island has no connections with the other islands, you can put 'unknown' to wherever it may concern!
