Primordiae
The Primordiae are four legendary elemental materials that, according to persistent legends among the Axiom, could accomplish wonders. Each Primordia is associated with one of the classical elements.
The Four Primordiae
According to the legends:
- Fire: Kelon is said to be the Primordia of Fire
- Air: Aerolith is believed to be the Primordia of Air
- Water: The Primordia of Water remains yet to be discovered
- Earth: The Primordia of Earth remains yet to be discovered
Status and Debate
The existence and nature of the Primordiae is a subject of debate within the Axiom:
- Some Axiom scientists question the truth of these rumors
- Others have come to dream of finding these mythical materials
- The question remains: what new feats would the Faction be capable of if they obtained such resources?
Connection to Exploration
Many Axiom members have joined the Expeditionary Corps specifically to be the first to uncover the missing Primordiae, or at least to verify if these legends are founded.
This quest represents both:
- A practical goal (obtaining powerful materials)
- A philosophical pursuit (testing the boundaries between legend and reality)
Confirmed Primordiae
Of the four, Kelon and Aerolith have been confirmed to exist and are extensively exploited by the Axiom. The Water and Earth Primordiae remain undiscovered.
Significance
The Primordiae legend embodies the Axiom’s character:
- Curiosity about natural phenomena
- Desire to harness powerful resources
- Willingness to pursue ambitious goals
- Balance between skepticism and wonder
The search for Primordiae reflects the Faction’s commitment to Rediscovery Endeavor and their hope that the Terra Incognita holds resources that could revolutionize their technological capabilities.
