Dris
From Harthorns-Reverie
One of the primordial three, the manifestation of Darkness, as well as the creator of the Drisal and therefore all connected to it; he is both an antagonist and ally through all stories due to this.
The Primeval is a liquid shadow and primordial chaos, often depicted as the only true god in the universe. Its nature is shrouded in mystery, but it is known to devour and corrupt anything it swallows, transforming them into warped versions known as Abortions.
Nature and Function
- Absorption and Transformation:
- The Primeval absorbs everything it kills, including souls. The entities it devours are corrupted and then expelled as Abortions, grotesque and dangerous beings that wreak havoc within the Station States.
Types of Abortions
- Common Forms:
- Monkey-like Beasts with Wings: These creatures are agile and ferocious, capable of flying and attacking from above.
- Dog-sized Serpents with Wings: These serpents spit a black acid that blinds and burns the skin, making them particularly dangerous.
- Contaminants:
- These types of Abortions can spread the influence of the Primeval. They communicate in Abroical, a language composed of vocal grunts and physical movements, often used to coordinate their efforts and spread chaos.
Beliefs and Theories
- The State of Deseret's Belief:
- The Primeval is thought to contain an entirely different reality within its maw, known as Soalium Ibrious. In this realm, entities must devour the souls of others to survive and grow stronger. If they fail to consume souls, they fade away and die.
- When a soul is devoured in Soalium Ibrious, its power translates back into our reality, empowering the body it has been reborn into.
Crossing the Barrier
- Breaking Through:
- Entities strong enough within Soalium Ibrious can break the barrier between dimensions and enter our reality, becoming known as Abortions. These beings are particularly powerful and dangerous, as they carry the strength and corruption of the Primeval.
