Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sidran" data-source="post: 279899" data-attributes="member: 6160">1 In the beginning there was only the Sína; The Voidless light, and in the tongue of the ancient Andar was known as Silar, who made them from his thoughts. and the spread outward from his bosom crafting for themselves a covering of stone and earth. Now   At the edge of the Voidless light a harsh wind stirred and breathed life into the Sína, 2  And it grew wise in its thoughts and its deeds, and gave  form to the first of the Andar, and through them learned the nature of all things both large and small. But the Sína grew restless, and lonely in his heart, and wished that it might have one to call a companion. 3 Thus was the Fomôr created, and it too touched the winds of life and grew wise and crafty in its thoughts  learning to prize its cunningness. It is by him that Sarnan king of the foxes was created and to this day roams the wilds of Aryand. 4 And the Sína, and the Fomôr walked together often through the Gardens and forests Sinarân. Relishing in the peace, and the friendship of eachother.  5 Sína went out from his abode alone across the silver waters to the deep forest  which to him was unknown, and from a hidden glade came the sounds of some one harping. 6 Drawing near to the pleasant sounds of the harp he came upon Sinarwë And said unto her ‘Who is it that chimes the dawn up with her harping’ to this she did not answer. 7 And he spoke unto her saying ‘Who is it that pulls my heart towards her with just a glance’ and she replied to him ‘ Who is she indeed, not I, I am but a dreamer dreaming of the Light shining’ 8 and she said unto him  ‘I am the daughter of the Wind, who was seeded by the Voidless light, and was born into it gently blown kisses’ And she opened herself unto Sína, and he saw her for his other half created but lost from the first.  9 And they bound together, and she grew heavy with child and gave birth to Arathir, and while they were together Sarnan king of the foxes came upon them secretly and reported to his master saying 10  ‘Sína, has found the dawn willing to give him child, while the light is still not full let us conspire that you to will find her willing.’  11 Then Fomôr cloaked himself in the image Sína, and went unto her, and lay with her while Sína was away. And he revealed himself unto her and she fled in fear from him unto Sína and told him all that had been done,  12 And Sína grew angry with Fomôr and  ground his teeth at him, and in his anger cast Fomôr into the void.     13 And Sinarwë grew heavy with child and gave birth to Azdanôr, and Astá* .  14 And Sína foster them as his own, and they grew strong and wise in all things, and followed him in the service of the light   15 But Azdanôr grew rebellious against Sína, and fled into the void after his father.  16 And Sína, wept and prostrated himself saying  ‘Though one was lost still one is saved’ and he betrothed Arathir to Astá and wed them saying  ‘From you will the light spread into the hearth of the world’ 17 And together they went to the lands below to where the Andar dwelt and took upon them the raiment's of the  stone folk, and Astá grew heavy with child and gave birth unto Aryandwë and the world shook,  18 And the heavens brightened as if lightning filled the sky, and Sína spoke in an unknown voice saying ‘by this child shall all be wrought, and by her sorrow will come upon all of the Sinar, such torment, and not but the Andar shall remain within’.1  19 And saying this Sina and Sinarwë vanished from the lands of Sinarân to be seen no more, and Aryandwë grew strong and wise in all things. 20 But from her did the Sinar grow, and spread from shore to shore upon the face of Sinarân, among them being the Sindaran, and the Indûlain   21 And the Dhoradwyrn who are now remembered as the great dragons. And Aryandwë married and she lived  fifteen hundred years and had Arolfin, and she lived thirty, and had Arwyth. 22  And these are the names of sons of Arolfin; Jacoir the son of Zhera, Gatam the son of  Yarinwë; And the sons of  Arwyth were Tachën, Kenaz, and Nahath; and Jacoir went with Gatam and the journeyed and came to a land of milk and honey; And together the founded the kingdom of Arandur, 23 And Tachën took for himself a wife from the Silar, and went on into the Hearth of Sinar which is now known as Aryand, ‘The maidens Hearth’ and their he settled and built up the walls of the city of Tachënfjord which is now known as the City of Tachënhurst, on the river Noord. Kenaz  took for himself a wife from the children of the Andar and journeyed to Aryand and he dwelt deep in the Morning mountains and established the race of Duarandar, and they retreated further into the earth until the evil of the Iccorath descended upon them. And Nahath took for himself a wife, Silanwë of the Arathan; And he also went down to the Aryand and his descendants grew and prospered, and took to the sea; And these are the names of the sons of Nahath; Jacoiran, and Sahridaz. And Jacoiran journeyed to the east and dwelt in the vale of Imlarin and from him did the people of  Astán, Thirorthay, and Naul come. And Sahridaz Journeyed with him as far as Eingëdwar and there he dwelt. And time moved slowly for the sons of the Sinar, and they dwelt in peace. Thru them the Silar grew populous in the world of the hearth. Now it came about that in his fiftieth year in the Vale of Eingëdwar  Sahridaz came upon a woman at a well, and he found her beautiful to his sight and he asked her saying  ‘I am thirsty from my travels, and have no vessel by which to draw water’ And she said unto him  ‘Here is mine what hinders you from using it’ and she proceeded to draw water for him. And he said unto her  “by the blood of my kin, I have had a foretelling that I would come upon a well and say unto the first woman I found  ‘I am thirsty from my travels, and have no vessel by which to draw water’ And she who would take pity on me and qualm my thirst, and that she would be the one for whom I would wed’ Having said this he asked to seek out her father. And when they had come to the walls of her father home he called out  ‘I am Sahridaz son of Nahath of the Arathan’ And her father rose and came to the gate, and said unto Sahridaz     ‘ I am Torhen, son of Tachën also of the Arathan, and this is my daughter Shmiya who I hold dear to me’ At this Sahridaz rejoiced telling of his foretelling of the well, and then he knelt before Torhen and asked for his daughters hand. And Sahridaz dwelt among the people of Torhen, deep within the earth for six hundred years, and peace was in the world. And to him Shmiya bore a son which he named Isamildë, and he lived three hundred years and passed into the Sína, thus death first came to Aryand. And his son grew tall, and fair, and it came about that he left his mother and traveled south across the River Anu to the land of the Aratha and he built for himself a wondrous city on the place of great power and named the city Torh-Nahathas which later grew to be known as Thorenath. And Isamildë took for himself a wife of the Aratha, and she bore him Human, first of the Hathans, a tall and fair man. And to him also was born Thylasha, and Human saw his sister, and fell in love with her and they lay together and gave birth to the twins Hannan, and  Kairdain and from them the seed of man grew in the world and multiplied three fold and became a power in Aryand</blockquote>
