Of Early Men

The greater part of the Aenochians left the shores of the sea first and crossed the dry steppes of the Dulset with great loss and hardship. They came at last, after many months to the Great Northern Forest, welcoming its cool shades and plentiful water. They drifted further north until at last they came to the northern seas and there they discovered the Vale of Mordius. She walked among them, amazed, for she had not been a party to the All Father's crafting and had as yet heard only rumor of what grew in the south. But she loved them and took them under wing. She taught them how to work in word and bough and how to fish and hunt. From her they learned to husband the animals, grow crops, and fashion tools. In the far north they built great halls to house their people.

In time they were joined by the Ethrum, the second of the tribes of men, and these too learned of Mordius and devoured all the knowledge she fed them.
