- „The strongest of these powers were referred to as Prime Songs, and were deemed too powerful for the Ardoni to wield freely. Thus, they were given to the masters of the four Ardoni clans as a sign of peace and unity.”
- — Thalleous Sendaris narrates of the Prime Songs↑
The Prime Songs are four songs, each representing a different type of song, and are the most powerful of the songs. They were first introduced during the prologue of Episode 1. These Songs each grant the wielder the ability to use all of the Song types in their respective categories, as opposed to the normal songs, which are restricted to a single ability.
Prime Song types[]
There are currently four types of Prime Songs :
- Aggressium Prime
- Mobilium Prime
- Protisium Prime
- Supporium Prime
Aggressium Prime[]
This song is represented by the colour red. It is the Prime Song of the Aggressium category, which includes songs that specialize in offensive capabilities. This song is also the most powerful of Prime Songs. It grants the user all the powers of the Aggressium category namely:

- Aggroquake
- Aggroshock
- Aggrovortex
- Aggroshard
- Aggrodetonate
It was previously wielded by Aegus Nestoris, master of the Nestoris clan, and was the only Prime Song that was not claimed by the Deathsinger. Much later, Thalleous would move the Prime Song to Northwind in order to protect it from an impending Voltaris attack.

This song was previously claimed by the Deathsinger after he killed the master of the Kaltaris clan. Much later, Thalleous would move the Prime Song to the vault in order to protect it from an impending Voltaris attack.
Lore[]
In the beginning, the Prime Songs were discovered by the Voltaris, their greatest discovery of all. However, tensions were already high between the other clans and the Voltaris, due to their curious nature about the songs being opposed by the other 4 clans. After the discovery, the 4 primes were split amongst the 4 clans, but none for the Voltaris. It is implied this was due to their mistrust of the Voltaris, and Ingressus's belief that it was due to corruption (whether by corruption he was implying that the 4 masters did not trust the Voltaris with the primes as they believed it would corrupt the Voltaris, or the Masters were corrupted with power-lust themselves is open ended). The Masters seemed to have overcome this corruption with time though, as they eventually only kept them for safekeepings, as they believed they were too powerful for an Ardoni to wield alone, although this did not mean they took the Voltaris out of banishment, as perhaps they thought of them as still an evil faction, or were too ashamed to admit their errors. Following an invasion by Nether forces and an intense struggle between the invaders and the alliance of Ender Knights and Ardonia, however, the coalition of kingdoms found themselves on the verge of defeat, and in desperate need of a breakthrough, called on the Ardoni to use the Primes.
Reluctantly, they agreed, and held a tournament to determine a champion who would wield all four Songs. The victor, although at first appearing to be a Nestoris, transfigured himself into his true form: Ingressus Voltaris, the leader of the exiled Voltaris clan. Upon discovering this, the masters of the clans refused to give him the Prime Songs. That night, Ingressus killed three of the four masters of the Ardoni clans, reclaiming three of the four Prime Songs and earning him the name Deathsinger among the Ardoni clans. However, he was unsuccessful in killing Aegus Nestoris and obtaining the Aggressium Prime, the most powerful prime song. With the almost certain prospect of a war between Ardonia and the Voltaris, Ingressus met with King Chronos of the Nether and formed an alliance. The two sides clashed, resulting in the Great War.
For a time, the combined Voltaris and Nether alliance held the advantage, until the Tidesinger was able to unite the peoples of Ardonia and the Ender Knights in an offensive that drove the Nether armies back into the Nether. Without their support, the Voltaris retreated to Mt. Velgrin, where the Deathsinger and Tidesinger engaged in a duel that was presumed to have resulted in the two killing each other; following their fight, only the Prime Songs were found where they fought. Once the Great War had ended, the Songs were redistributed among the clans.
About 150 years later, Thalleous Sendaris, in anticipation of the return of the Voltaris, moved the Prime Songs to ensure they would not be seized by them when they attacked. Before the events of the first episode, he moved the Supporium Prime to the Vault, the Protisium Prime to an uncharted island, and the Aggressium Prime to Gale Point in Northwind. It is unknown in what order he hid them. During Episode 1, he and Senn took the Mobilium Prime to Crown Peak, to be with Sulliman.
Upon the return of the Deathsinger, the Voltaris first attacked the Vault and claimed the Supporium Prime. After this, the Deathsinger retrieved the Mobilium Prime from Sulliman, who willingly gave it to him. Hubris, Grek, Denny, and Thunderdome later retrieved the Protisium Prime from it's island hiding place, while Ria, Senn, and Achillean went to Gale Point to get the Aggressium Prime. Unfortunately, the Deathsinger attacked, killing Achillean and Denny, who had come to help, and capturing Senn. Ria and Thunderdome escaped with the Protisium Prime and Aggressium Prime.
After the war, all four Prime Songs were hidden in a secret vault in The End.
