When the All Father passed
from the world, the Multiverse sprang into being and Wenafar set
herself the task of lighting the evening’s sky, for in those days
the world was flat and the Sun and Moon were not always present and
the world was dark in this utter absence of light. Taking council
with herself, Wenafar set to lighten the heavens with gentle flames
and bring light into the darkness. She sought out Frafnog the dragon,
and he, smitten with her great beauty and seeming wisdom set about
the task with her. Taking thoughts from her mind she set them in the
heavens. When at last she lay back, exhausted from her labors,
Frafnog rose and breathed a great breath of flame and fire across the
dark emptiness of the Void and lit the thoughts of Wenafar so that
they burned in the sky with a brilliance that all could see. Where he
passed the lights clustered thickest and this was called the dragon's
trail. The whole world marveled, and evil things lay and hid for they
knew not what strange portent this was.
