The Dark Elementals

Where there is balance, there is tension.
Where there is creation, there is decay.

From beyond the harmony of the primal elements — or perhaps from their deepest, broken reflections — emerged the Dark Elemental Gods.

They were not creators.

They were corruptors.

Among them were named forces such as Death, Void, Blood, and Chaos, though scholars argue whether these were individual beings or titles worn by many. Where the Elemental Gods shaped the world and stepped back, the Dark Elementals whispered, tempted, and demanded.

Death promised release from suffering.
Void promised silence where pain could not reach.
Blood promised power at any cost.
Chaos promised freedom from all restraint.

They did not conquer Elvendor with armies.
They conquered it with belief.
