Hatha and Sird

In the beginning were the Giants. Great workers of stone, and 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.
