==The Blood of Hatha: Water and Ice. Sird the Rendking==
The two brothers had fought one another many times before, and had fought the other '''Rend'''. But this was new. '''Hatha''' was cut open by the '''Niddighugger''''s iron blade and it was '''water''' which spilled forth from his wound; so much water that it filled the valleys, covered the lowest lands, and filled even the great rent in the ground, giving rise to the '''Oceans''' and the '''Seas'''.

'''Hatha and Sird''' never again quite understood one another, but from this act, much of the world was made. Sird called himself the '''Rendking''', cowing his subjects with his new weapon. Hatha was now creeping along the lowest grounds, his body long gone, having now no substance but Water. To show how different he was from his vanquished brother, Sird moved up to the highest of the mountains and built himself a '''great castle'''. Still he loved his brother, so he took some of '''Hatha’s blood''', the new thing water, with him. Filling his helm with water, he bore it up to his mountain fastness. But there, Hatha showed a cold indifference to his brother and the water froze and spilled out of the helm, turning Sird’s mountain retreat to '''ice and snow'''. At first, Sird was indifferent. He used the ice to carve for himself a '''throne''', to spy better upon the world. But in his isolation, only receiving occasional visits from below, he spoke to the ice and sent it south, in glaciers or in ice floes, to bring him news of the world. To his dismay, the ice never returned.
