![]() ![]() ĭuring the Icelost Years, Errevon the Rimelord, an ice behemoth believed to be an ancient scion of the Primordials, led an invasion of Tal'Dorei before being resealed in the Frostfell. During the fourth age, the archlich Vecna raised this same Earth Titan, atop the shoulders of which rested his city of Thar Amphala. The Titanstone Knuckles, one of the Vestiges of Divergence, was forged from the heartstone of an earth titan. The massive skeletons of three "titans" litter the Calamity-era battlefield of Incanter's Rest. ![]() The children of the titans, the elemental eidolons, managed to hide from the gods and came to inhabit different corners of the planet as spirits of the land. They were two of the only primordials that were never killed, and the travels of the city of Avalir along the ley lines of Exandria inscribed protective runes upon the world that helped to keep them sealed away. Two mighty Primordials, Rau'shan the Emperor of Fire and Ka'Mort the Empress of Earth, were laid low and sealed away by the Dawnfather and the Wildmother under Mount Ygora on a continent known as Domunas. One such titan, the Molten Titan, was felled by elves at the end of the Founding and was subsequently sealed within and consumed by the earth, forming the Daggerbay Mountains of Tal'Dorei. In the end, the Prime Deities were victorious, and the Betrayer Gods were individually imprisoned or banished while the Primordials were destroyed and scattered to their own planes. During the ensuing struggle, the gods split into the Prime Deities, who wanted to fight the Primordials and protect their creations, and the Betrayer Gods, who sympathized with the Primordials and wished to join in the chaos. The cooperation between gods and Primordials broke down and the Primordials rose from the earth to attack the gods themselves. ![]() The proliferation of the mortals upon Exandria continued to rankle the Primordial forces, who increased the assault upon them of the elemental forces of Exandria, to the great sorrow and anger of some of the young gods. Seeing the danger posed by this entity, the Primordials collaborated briefly with the gods to imprison Predathos within a piece of the planet that became its second moon, Ruidus. Īt some point, however, a malevolent being the gods named Predathos arrived from beyond the world, creating twisted life forms on Exandria, and devouring two of the gods: Ethedok the Endless Shadow, god of darkness and winter, and Vordo the Fateshaper, god of fate and order. The gods granted mortals the gift of magic to allow them to successfully subdue the elemental forces they faced and continue their growth. This greatly angered the Primordials, who caused the planet itself to rise against the mortals with chaos, earthquake, and fire. They created the first mortals, including the first humanoids and dragons, who began to grow and prosper under the gods' guidance and aid. However, during what became known as the Founding, the still young and formless gods arrived from another, unknown realm. Prior to the arrival of the gods into Exandria, the Primordials claimed the world as their own and dwelt deep beneath its surface, the sole form of life upon the young planet. ![]()
