Introduction[]
The primal Source is the essence of the universe. It is not another god or immortal; rather, it is more akin to the seed from which all things began. During the beginning of the universe, time was in its infancy, and as such many creatures who emerged did not experience time the way humans might. They instead might live their lives jumping forward and back, being born in the future and living in the past. This was simply the chaotic nature of the universe, and from the chaos emerged Tiamat to personify it and give it conscience. To balance out the chaos, Chronus was born, to personify primal order.
The balance or flow of the Source is very delicate and, should it be disrupted, it could destroy the universe. That is why a god's powers flow back into the Source after death. All gods' powers come from the Source but only Source gods can manipulate it. Source gods are capable of tapping into and manipulating the power of the primal Source.
When gods die, Chthonians are able to control the flow of energy into the Source to absorb the dead gods' powers or direct them to another Source god.
Sephirii are able to "connect" with the Source, allowing the Source to communicate directly to others through the Sephiroth.
