With a sudden cosmic shift, the Primordials awakened, and their boundless power surged forth, permeating the very souls of mortals and gods alike.

There are three main types: Dark, Light, and Twilight. These are further divided into twelve steps, following the day from dawn's first light to the darkest hour of the night. As the day progresses and shifts into night, so too does the soul of a creature darken.
