WHO STARTED THE WAR? REPORTER: Xulk
We have fought six months against an enemy we don’t even know. Who are the Primalists? While the Primal Incarnates are now well researched, the mortals are not. One of the few Primalists to be named, Kurog Grimtotem, is scarcely explored. A member of the Grimtotem Tribe, he was of little note until he crashed a wedding and openly condemned dragons there. Somehow he went from an uninvited guest to discovering the Dragon Isles, breaking into a Titan vault and releasing Razageth and launching a global conflict. How did he do this? While I am sure he was a powerful shaman in his own right, knowledge of the Primal Incarnates has been carefully hidden. Did any mortals know of the primal incarnates? Most of the dragons appeared ignorant of their existence until recently. Whoever told Kurog about Razageth’s existence and how to reach her and free her ultimately launched this war and the conflict we are now all embroiled in. So who did it?

An elemental could have done it. Many elementals are not only older than the ancient Primalist conflict, but also are able to commune with shamans. Any elemental that old could have contacted Kurog directly without anyone else knowing. But which elemental had motive to do so?
All of them. The elementals were enslaved by the Old Gods. And when the Titans arrived, the Titans did not free them, but instead imprisoned them in the elemental plane. From there, they watched the Sundering, the Cataclysm, the rise of Dark Shamanism, and even Sargeras trying to drive a sword through the very heart of the world. During the Cataclysm, many
many elementals made common cause with Deathwing and the Twilight Hammer cult, including the forces of Al-Akir and Ragnaros. How much of their involvement was true allegiance, and how much of it was them taking advantage of a chance to escape the Titan’s prison? The Twilight Hammer and Deathwing himself attacked and experimented upon any elementals they came across. But now the elementals old enemies the Titans are bound and hidden away, and it is said that the Old Gods are gone. Remaining however are the Dragonflights and the Keepers, the last remaining Titan servants on this world. This entire conflict is an attempt to remove the world of such Titan remnants, using the Primalists as a disposable army to accomplish it. But which elemental is responsible? The Elemental Lords are the most powerful of their numbers, and in theory control the courts as a whole, but such control has never been absolute. It could just as easily be any lesser noble that was old enough. As I mentioned previously, the courts of Earth and Water seem less invested in
