### Summary

Powerful progenitors and ancestors of the gods within their respective pantheon.

**Primordial Deities**, also called the **Primordials** or **Cosmic Gods**, are the progenitors and ancestors of the gods within their respective pantheons and the ones who established their respective religion.

## Appearance

For the most part, primordial gods have regular human forms of supernaturally beautiful people of different ages and ethnicities, though there's an unnatural aura around them that makes regular humans feel like there's something "strange" about them.

In reality, their true form are colossal titans of a cosmic scale, often standing multiple times greater than an actual planet, and are formed of pure divinity and ethereal energy. In this form, they are vaguely humanoid, but with strange and often eldritch features on them that place some primal fear into the mind of those who simply look at them.

## Characteristics

It is difficult to describe the characteristics of a primordial god, as they are beings whose mind is beyond all things, possessing knowledge and wisdom far beyond what can be comprehended, with many crucial aspects of the universe existing within them. And yet, it's still considered absurd to think of them as impersonal beings, existing only as forces in the universe without personality of their own.

For the most part, especially with the Progenitors and the older-generation Primordials, they are loyal to the Heavenly Council, though it's later revealed that their true loyalty laid in Hylemorphes, the Primal Source of all creative and destructive energy, and in Gabriel who is the creator of all the progenitor gods.

They are devoted servants of fate, always striving to maintain the natural order at a perfectly balanced and harmonized state. However, that doesn't stop them from being one of the contributing factors toward its imbalance, as - much like regular gods - they are arrogant beings who have no qualm about destroying entire civilizations that offend their "grand design", i.e. annoy them.

Due to their antiquity, unlike ordinary gods, they don't have to rely upon the veneration and worship of humans to maintain their divine authority, as their powers directly connect to ancient and powerful forces of the universe that predated humanity by billions of years. They are not, however, immune to the power of humans' collective consciousness as a whole as certain beliefs can still change or influence a Primordial in uncertain ways.

Due to their antiquity, most primordial gods see the current generations of gods as "squabbling toddlers" and have little desire to get involved in religious matters or their respective pantheon's private business. Only important, world-wide, or directly involving them can cause a primordial god to interfere, though for the most part, they'd assume a neutral position and let things play out on their own.

## Types of Primordials

* **First Order**: The Progenitor Gods, the original deities created by Gabriel from the purest energy of Hylemorphes in the Garden of Eden and are considered by angels and fallen angels to be her bastard children. They are the first gods of their pantheon, the ones who established their religion, and the progenitors, ancestors, and creators of all other gods within their mythology.
* **Second Order**: The children and grandchildren of the First Order Primordials. Most of them were born roughly the same time as the Milky Way galaxy, roughly 14-billions years ago, though some were born later alongside the Solar System. They possess immense power and represent primordial forces of the universe, from primeval elements to concepts and ideas.
* **Third Order**: The last generation of Primordials who embody abstract ideas and concepts, their birth span across the four geologic eons of Earth's history. While they are powerful, they are on-par with ordinary non-primordial gods and mainly act as retainers, and/or servants of their parents or gods they swear loyalty to.

## Population

While the exact number of primordial gods is unclear, according to Khaos, their number is "as numerous as the stars in the sky", ranging at the hundreds of billions. However, only a hundred of them decided to bind themselves to Earth, the first created planet with signs of life, while the rest of them scattered across the mortal world, creating new celestial bodies to cultivate their own civilization there.

## Trivia

* In some mythology, Primordials are known by groups, such as the *kotoamatsukami* (Japanese), the Ogdoad (Egyptian), and the Protogenoi (Greek).
* Despite the majority of their descendants having resentment toward the Abrahamic religions and the Three Factions, especially toward Heaven, it's later revealed that many primordial gods are employed into the Four Great Seraphs' plans.
