As far as Rowan could tell, all Primordials came from outside of all known Reality, their origins were from a higher-dimensional land that Rowan knows as Limbo.
Of the many unknown powers that Limbo might hold, Rowan had detected a great stench of Evil from it, and perhaps the reason he could do that was that this was the only higher-dimensional energy he was familiar with at that time after observing the dead form of the Primordial of Time and Evil.
Indeed, on his second attempt to investigate Limbo, he detected a myriad of forces impossible to describe at his present sixth-dimensional level, but none had that overpowering aura of Evil.
Rowan summarily concluded that Primordial Time had broken the balance made by the others when they invaded reality, instead of using what he had gained inside of reality to fight for its soul, he had pursued more strength by pulling power outside of reality to enhance his own.
This act had been crucial; perhaps it was one of the reasons why, after all this time, the Primordials had not succeeded.
Perhaps Evil existed inside this reality before Primordial Time brought it with him, but it must have been a fleeting thing, not as comprehensive as what he had sensed from Limbo.
Also, Rowan recalled the revelations he had gained when he accessed the Bloodline Source of Primordial Time and saw the vision of his Fate when he was taken apart by Will Chains and spread all over reality.
This act was not simply punishment, it had been necessary, and Rowan believed that the Primordials had been forced to follow along with this process because they had no choice.
Something had prevented the Primordials from devouring everything within reality, and it also bound the part of them that was within reality firmly in place, so they could not escape with what they had collected.
If they were invaders, and they had gained a lot from reality, then if finishing their invasion was becoming too difficult, they could have easily left and may have returned in the future, but they had remained behind, and instead, they seemed to have been forced to nurture the reality they had once plundered, of course, they refused to return the majority of the Primordial Essence stolen, but they had created a flourishing Era, filled with life and seemingly endless possibilities for prosperity and power.
Their bodies became the foundations of the higher dimensions, with Primordial Chaos being Space and Primordial Time becoming Time that could be bounded by Will Chains.
Now he was learning that the Primordial Domain was made from the sleeping bodies of the Primordials themselves. The immortals of this Era believed that the Primordials had vanished; only a few knew that when they looked into the distance and saw the great Celestial Domain or descended into the Great Abyss, they were walking on the bodies of the Primordials.
With his understanding of the past becoming more robust, Rowan turned his thoughts to Primordial Soul, the other half of the puzzle.
At the beginning of this invasion, upon a reality where the Primordials were taking their various Aspects and its essence was being plundered, if he was right about the soul of reality being the most important prize, then Primordial Soul had been the one to gain the most benefit, yet suffered the greatest suppression.
