 At the very pinnacle of power are beings known only as [[lore:​Eldar]]. These beings represent the most basic forces in the universe: fire, ice, hate, love, order, chaos, law, and countless others. The eldar exist beyond the understanding of even the oldest of gods, and beyond comprehension by any mortal. A single Eldar is as far above the collective power of all of the gods and devils as a single god is above the collective power of the [[lore:​mortals]]. They do not wield or control the power of the universe — they are a part of the universe. At the very pinnacle of power are beings known only as [[lore:​Eldar]].

-Many legends have called them titans, dragons, or even elder gods. However, they should not be confused with other [[creautres::​elementals]] that can be controlled by mortals and gods. These lesser elementals are but a shadow of their more powerful forefathers and no more noticeable to their creators than any single mortal.+Many legends have called them titans, dragons, or even elder gods.

 Devas are those lesser beings that serve the gods or devils, which are often called a deva's patron. These are typically referred to as angels, demons, and several other names; although they function the same. They gain their primal power from the deity they serve, but they can draw spiritual power from mortals. A deva acts as a conduit of spiritual, or aspectual, energy from the mortal plane to a primal being. These devas must have at small amount of primal energy encased in an elemental object, called a primal artifact, in order to accomplish this task. When both the deva and primal artifact are linked they can fully convert primal and spiritual energy. Devas are those lesser beings that serve the gods or devils, which are often called a deva's patron.

-However, the primal artifact is keyed to the deity that created it, which limits the deva to converted to and from a specific deity only. In the same way because spiritual energy if born of belief and conviction the deva is limited in gathering only that spiritual energy that is directed towards them from mortal ​souls. As an example, an angel of mercy can gather forth energy from mortals asking for healing, but not those looking to strike down their enemies in cold blood. If that angel was carrying a scepter keyed to a deity known for joyous murder it doesn'​t matter because once the angel has gathered the spiritual energy it can use its primal artifact to convert it to primal energy and deliver it to the deity.+However, the primal artifact is keyed to the deity that created it, which limits the deva to converted to and from a specific deity only.
