[QUOTE="countgray, post: 5033668, member: 18338"] I have a slightly different take. It's demons that are into destruction. Destruction is not the bailiwick of Primordials. Some demons may have once been Primordials, but Primordials, by and large are motivated by other things. Their wills are primal. They are not "civilized' like the gods. They are old. They are less formed. They are unrefined. They are untamed. Their desires are base and elemental. They want what they want. They have consuming desire and ambition for the element or concept they embody. Because they are unsubtle, this tends to come off as evil. However, most of them (I suspect) tend towards the neutral (or unaligned). Their methods may seem crude, unfeeling, even destructive and malicious. But that is not their primary motivation. But what that motivation is, may be different for each primordial. They want to consume, to create, to engulf, to love, to posess--all the things that motivate humans and animals. Only, the primordial's intent is usually not veiled. They are direct. Their intent is usually obvious, and woe be to him who stands in their way. [/QUOTE]
