Bahamut and Eikons

[Khalithar]

Snip

If I remember the lore correctly, Eikons are similar to primals but are at a significantly higher level of power. In the case of the Garleans referring to primals as Eikons I think that's something much easier to explain, Garlean's borrow a lot of stuff from ancient Allagan tech, ancient Allagans referred to the more powerful Primals as Eikons. As time passed, I believe that in the Garlean language the words "Eikon" and "Primal" became interchangeable over time as the difference between the words became blurred and eventually disappeared.
