Hatha and Sird
The Giants
In the beginning were the Giants. They were great workers of stone, and were driven by a great impulse. They strode across the world carving out the mountains and valleys we see today. They wrought things of great beauty, and they wrought sons to help in their labours and to people the world.
Two of the greatest Giants were Sird, wrought of obsidian, and Hatha, wrought of granite. These two brothers made mountain ranges together and wielded great iron clubs in fierce bttles with other Giants. Sird was the more cunning of the pair and the better craftsman. He learned to pound his club into an edge, and to shrpen the edge on rocks. Hatha considered himself wiser and now stood apart from his brother, accusing him of folly. Naturally, this angered Sird, and the obsidian Giant struck his brother almighty blow which cut Hatha open.
The two Giants had fought one another many times before, and had fought the other Giants. But this was new. Water spilled forth from Hatha's wound, so much water that it covered the lands and gve birth to the oceans and seas.
The two brothers never again understood one another, but from this act, much of the world as we know it began. Sird became the Chief of the Giants, cowing all the others with his new weapon. He moved up to the highest mountains to show his subjects how different he was fom his vanquished brother, Hatha creeping along the lowest grounds, with no substance. Still Sird loved his brother, so he took some of his essence wth him: he filled his helm with watr and bore it up to his mountain fastness. Hatha, thoug, bore only cold indifference to Sird and the water froze, chilling the Giant to his core.
