The Beginning..
At the dawn of time when the worlds floated through the abyss, Silivren, the first of all, grapped a hold on the most precious they could find and forged the worlds into one realm. They called it Tusmorka.
However Tusmorka was heavy and began to sink into the abyss. Silivren had nothing to keep it in place, so they placed both of their legs in the abyss and held the world above their head.
Creatures from all the worlds that had forged the realm had begun to mingle. They knew nothing of Silivren, only that many had become one. Silivren was dreary that they couldn’t see the creatures or know if they thrived. Therefore Silivren used their own spirit to let four be born to aid themself.
From air, Kraka. From earth, Eik. From fire, Astrid. From water, Njáll.
They were to watch over all the creatures in the realm and bring news to Silivren.
