Primordial Elements
Indomitable and raw. The elemental planes and their inhabitant are far older than us. One of the first creations of the gods, they are mindless creatures of drive, determination, and will. Their very essence is the planes of which they were spawned, raw elemental power single-minded, and unrestrained.
Whether you were embedded with this sentient power by an older and powerful entity or by a mad wizard's experiment, you shall witness a war between your mortal mind and the instinct of the Primordial Elements.
For better or worse Primordial power resides within you, melded with your very soul. Pray now that you may overcome it, for you are the only one that stands between it and the rest of the world.
