In the four centuries since the Realm's founding, countless gift scholars have studied, researched, and written of (oft times at great lengths) the Divine Archetypes and the gifts that they are able to bestow. Despite this, relatively little is known of these powerful beings.

It is accepted by everyone, from the most erudite scholar to the most base farmer, that the archetypes are, in some way, sentient. However, the exact nature of this sentience and it's variation between archetypes are still little understood. While some archetypes, such as the Rogue and the Arbiter, are constantly active, taking no small hand in a wide variety of events throughout history, others, even those that seem as more puissant, including the Greater Triad, take little direct action upon the world.

It also well documented that, despite the transcendent nature of these archetypes, they are not eternal. No few records document the emergence and development of the Soldier and Sailor archetypes in the Realm's second century, while even older records, including those predating the Realm, make reference to lost archetypes, such as the Paragon and the Mystic.

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

Even the Triad system, oft accepted as the most comprehensive organizational structure for the Divine Archetypes, has no few logical problems and holes in it, and many changes to it have been accounted for through the years., leading to the recent advancement of the pairing system as a replacement.

One thing most scholars can agree on is that the divine nature of the archetypes defy human interpretation, and only the most esoteric of sages still ponder their peculiarities. To those devout students of transcendent nature, the primer to follow will likely seem unbelievably and inappropriately brief, but to the vast majority of readers, the information therein will be more than sufficient to understand the most practical elements of these definitory beings.
