	'''Primal Earth''' is ~~the name that [[Portal Corporation]], founded by [[Dr. Brian Webb]], uses to refer to the dimension that [[Paragon City]]~~ and the ~~[[Rogue Isles]] originate in, and where~~ the ~~game worlds of [[~~City of Heroes~~]] and [[City~~ of ~~Villains]] are based.~~ [[~~Tina Macintyre~~]] is ~~Primal Earth~~'s ~~foremost Portal Corps researcher at the moment~~.		'''Primal Earth''' is a dimensional universe and the primary setting of the City of Heroes lore. It is one of many dimensions in the [[multiverse]] and is the dimension where most of the user's gameplay takes place.

	~~Most folks in this~~ dimension ~~just refer to it as Earth. However, Portal Corps has encountered in excess of~~ [[Portal Corporation~~#Dimensions known by the Portal Corporation\|thirty different dimensions~~]] ~~through~~ their ~~portal technology~~. ~~Therefore,~~ it ~~is necessary~~ to ~~differentiate between~~ the ~~different "~~worlds~~" (dimensions)~~.		The name "Primal Earth" was given to the dimension by that dimension's [[Portal Corporation]] after their discovery of alternate Earths in other dimensions. Leading scientists of Primal Earth believe their world is a nexus of power with tendrils that connect it to many alternate Earths such as the [[Rikti]] homeworld and [[Praetoria]]. They further postulate that it has more such connections than any alternate Earth and so it must be considered the focal point of those worlds.

They further postulate that it has more such connections than any alternate Earth and so it must be considered the focal point of those worlds.		As with any scientific theorem, there are some who disagree, even within the Primal Earth scientific community. Beings who call those other Earths their home also tend to see their world as central. The [[Tyrant\|Praetorian emperor]], for example, often refers to Primal Earth simply as “[[Statesman]]’s World” and any scientist trying to convince him otherwise would most likely find his employment terminated.

	~~"'''Primal'''" is~~ the ~~name often used for those from Primal Earth~~, ~~especially to distinguish them from their counterparts from other dimensions. This is primarily used by those ''not'' from~~ Primal Earth.		Portal Corps has encountered more than [[Portal Corporation#Dimensions known by the Portal Corporation\|thirty different dimensions]] through their portal technology, many of which are alternate versions of Primal Earth.

	== ~~Dimension Differences~~ ==		== Primal and Praetorian Player Characters ==

	~~Each dimension has its own timeline~~, ~~where past events may or may not~~ have ~~happened~~, and ~~if they did happen, the outcome may have been different~~.		New characters created by City of Heroes players have the option to start in Primal Earth or, with the purchase of [[Going Rogue]], in [[Praetoria]]. While this decision is primarily cosmetic, it does have some minor effects on the character, and their dimension of origin can never be changed.

	~~For instance, [[Praetoria]] is under the rule of ''Emperor Cole'', also known as [[Tyrant]], the [[Praetorian]] version of~~ Primal ~~Earth's [[Statesman]]. Other signature heroes~~ and ~~villains are known to have~~ Praetorian ~~versions of themselves. Note that Portal Corporation refers to Praetoria as~~ the ~~scientific name ''Upsilon Beta 9-6''.~~		Differences between Primal and Praetorian player characters include the following:

	~~Various other difference~~ may or may ~~not~~ be ~~immediately obvious between~~ the ~~worlds~~.		*Praetorian characters are exclusively restricted to Praetoria and [[Pocket D]] until level 20, at which point they migrate to Primal Earth.
			*Primal characters cannot gain access to Praetorian mission content, but they may join Praetorians as teammates in that content.
			*Praetorian characters cannot select or unlock any of the [[Epic Archetypes]].
			*Only Praetorians may be of the [[Loyalist (Alignment)\|Loyalist]] or [[Resistance (Alignment)\|Resistance]] Alignments. After level 20, they share the same Alignments as Primal characters.
			*Primal and Praetorian characters each can earn a different set of [[Achievement Badges]].
			*All [[Badges]] available to Primal characters can either be earned by Praetorians directly or have Praetorian equivalents.
			*The Praetorian badges that Primal characters cannot earn are: [[Loyalist Badge\|Loyalist]], [[Resistance Member Badge\|Resistance Member]] and [[Moral High Ground Badge\|Moral High Ground]].

== Overview ==

'''Primal Earth''' is the name that [[Portal Corporation]], founded by [[Dr. Brian Webb]], uses to refer to the dimension that [[Paragon City]] and the [[Rogue Isles]] originate in, and where the game worlds of [[City of Heroes]] and [[City of Villains]] are based. [[Tina Macintyre]] is Primal Earth's foremost Portal Corps researcher at the moment.

Most folks in this dimension just refer to it as Earth. However, Portal Corps has encountered in excess of [[Portal Corporation#Dimensions known by the Portal Corporation|twenty different dimensions]] through their portal technology. Therefore, it is necessary to differentiate between the different "worlds" (dimensions).

== Dimension Differences ==

Each dimension has its own timeline, where past events may or may not have happened, and if they did happen, the outcome may have been different.

For instance, [[Praetoria]] (the dimension that [[Going Rogue]] will be based) is under the rule of ''Emperor Cole'', also known as [[Tyrant]], the [[Praetorian]] version of Primal Earth's [[Statesman]]. Other heroes are known to have Praetorian versions of themselves; it is not known yet whether the Signature Villains have alternate versions, but it is assumed so. Note that Portal Corporation scientifically refers to this dimension as ''Upsilon Beta 9-6''.

Various other difference may or may not be immediately obvious between the worlds.
