Primordial Pantheon

Unlike traditional deities, the Primordial pantheon consists of the most powerful of the True Demons. Lusting to be returned to the world they helped create, they reach out and manipulate mortals to suit their whims. Due to their demonic nature, followers of the Primordials are often exiled from society, though some remote villages may worship them more openly, or under different names. Demons are most open 'worshipers' of these beings, who they often call the "First Ones". Long term servitude to a Primordial can cause a Demon to mutate into a form befitting the Primordial's aspect.   In the structure of the universe, the Primordials are not true deities at all, and even have their own, largely forgotten God. However, they powerful spiritual entities often eager to lend mortal's powers the true gods will not, for a price.
