The Primordials

Beings of nature magic who are a part of Etharis itself, awakened pieces of its very being that had become suffused with the gods' power after their first attempt at creation.

Lady Morrakesh

The Burning Lady, Red Queen, and Emberheart are among her many names. The Primordial of Fire holds court in her dimension of Flamebourne, she commands azers, efreeti, and fire giants in her army.

Morrakesh suffered the worst under Gormadraugh, as the wyrm saw her as his most destructive weapon. As such she is highly capricious and easy to anger; she may reward you with great riches just as easily as she can turn you and all your belongings into a heaping pile of slag. Great care must be taken in petitioning her.

Those who would summon an aspect of Morrakesh for a favor must first burn a sentient being alive as a sacrifice.

Alondo

Lord of the Deep and ruler of the Endless Sea, The Primordial of Water, Alondo, is in control the denizens of lakes and seas. He is worshiped by merfolk, water elementals, and the mighty leviathans.

Aside from Kentigern, Alondo has no love for mortals and wishes to be left alone. That said, he is the most consciences of his ilk, working diligently to prevent the return of Gormadraugh. Still, rumors persist that he has something to do with the coldfire outbreak plaguing Etharis.

Those who would invoke an aspect of Alondo must first slay one of his hated enemies and hurl its heart into the sea.

Citrolach

The Primordial of Earth, Citrolach, also called the Living Mountain, masters over all who pledge themselves to earth and stone: earth elementals, deep dwarves, and gnomes, as well as all who dwell in his underground kingdom of Stonereach. His power even extends to plants and denizens of the forests.

To summon an aspect of Citrolach, one must surrender a fortune of gems and gold, all of which is returned by the Primordial to the ground from which it was taken. Take care, however. Notoriously stubborn, Citrolach holds to particular stand for centuries. It would be easier to move a mountain than to convince Citrolach to change his mind.

Ilhara

The Queen of Air and Shadow is the most ambitious Primordial of them all. The Primordial of Air sends her army of djinn, sylphs, and air elementals abroad to find secrets from amongst humans and spirits alike. Her ultimate aim is to be powerful enough to fill the void left by the dead gods.

Ilhara requires a dark secret to be whispered into the air before an aspect of herself is summoned.

Gormadraug

The Great Prismatic Wyrm is also a powerful source of nature magic, though he doesn't know this in his current state. There is no way to invoke him. Moreover, worship of the Wyrm is illegal throughout the Valikan Clans. The Primordials also warn that drawing power from Gormadraug may even awaken him, and readily smite any druids or rangers who try.
