In 4e the primordials were elemental entities of massive size and incredible power. They created the prime, shadow fell, and fey wild planes (the shadow fell and fey wild were bits cast off when they made the prime). The also created the titans, which in turned created the giants (which are lesser versions of the titans, so you have a type of titan for each type of giant), which in turn created dwarves.  Primordials ruled the elemental chaos and after the gods started messing with the prime, went to war with the gods.  The primordials were generally more powerful (it took Moradin, Pelor, and Bahamut together to imprison Mual-Tar the Thunder Serpent), but less organized than the gods.  The gods and their servants eventually defeated the primordials and their servants. There is a lot more lore, and nuance, than that, but it is a general overview.In 5e, Primordials are still a thing, but it is not clear if they hold the same significance they did in 4e.  I think it is intentionally vague.</blockquote>
