==The Making of the World. The Brothers Hatha and Sird==
The First Giants, the '''Rend''', were great workers of stone, and were driven by a great impulse. They strode across the world carving out mountains and valleys we see today. They wrought things of great beauty out of stone. To help them in their labours and people the world, they carved sons out of the rock. 

The names of most of the Rend are now lost, but two stand out and are known to this day. They are the brothers '''Sird''', wrought of basalt, and '''Hatha''', wrought of granite. Sird was carved first, he was the stronger and the more cunning of the pair, and the better craftsman. He is power and might in its starkest, most imposing form, and is desire, anger and vengeance. Hatha was wrought after his brother and was the wiser of the two, the more thoughtful, the lover of beauty. 

The pair made great mountain ranges together and wielded massive iron clubs in fierce battles with other Rend. They constructed the '''Rendwall''' which binds the east of the world, and made the great plain to the West which later became the '''Plains of Fire'''. In the south they carved out a great rents in the ground and this later became the '''oceans'''. They wrought great clubs of iron they had pulled from the ground, and used these to fight fierce battles with the other giants.

Sird’s desire and anger had transformed into a slow cunning. He had learned to pound his club, '''Niddighugger''', into an edge, and to hone this edge on the rocks. Hatha, considering himself wiser, stood apart from his brother and accused him of folly. This greatly angered Sird, so the obsidian Giant struck his brother almighty blow with his great edged club and cut him open.
