[ She follows his indication, seemingly grateful for the change in topic. Her face becomes pensive as she thinks how best to word this, sitting...surprisingly delicately. ]

S' a fuzzy line, really. Primals...An' I'm hardly the most qualified te speak on this, but Primals are...more the idea've a god, or sommat close to it, made real. Summonin' a Primal needs Aether te give 'em form, and willpower or prayer or the like te give it purpose an' power.

Ain't good, sufferin' a Primal te live. Even the most benign of 'em bleed the land dry of it's Aether, an' those more inclined te destruction usually make their own trouble 'fore long, or their worshipers do. An' if there aren't enough worshippers, a Primal can jes....make more. Steal a man's soul forever, if they're so inclined.

So...I guess te answer ye best, Gods are jes concepts. Primals are concepts someone gave life te.
