1. About the Primes

There are two kinds of Primes, Light Primes and Dark Primes. The Light Primes are good and friendly to all Furres, while the Dark Primes are evil and manipulative to all Furres. The Light Primes are very ethical and moral; they believe that Furres should be left to their own as much as possible. The Dark Primes, on the other hand, view all mortals as their playthings and will sometimes try to get Furres to follow or even worship them.

Primes aren't mythical beings or legends, but sometimes so much time goes by since the last sighting that some Furres may doubt their existence. The good Primes just smile at this, but the evil Dark Primes resent disbelief.

Light Primes insist that they aren't deities, and they don't want to be worshiped or arbitrarily obeyed. Furres generally treat the Light Primes the way most modern people treat the classical Greek/Roman gods: as symbols, inspiration for virtue and the arts. The evil Dark Primes, on the other hand, like being able to influence Furres, and they encourage secret cults in their honor.

For an account of the Light Primes and Dark Primes, see Of Clouds and Wyrmmes, and also Second Wyrmmes.
