When the worlds were very young, in fact before they were truly formed and solid, there were three forces that overwhelmed all other things. There was the force of northern ice and endless cold, and that of untamable southern fire. These two met at a third force, a vast gap, a gap of nothingness, all empty space. Where they met, the ice would melt at the touch of heat coming from the south, and where the ice would touch the heat great mists and fogs and sparks would leap up and fly off in all directions.
After a great long length of primal time, these two great powers began to overlap in the middle, and layers of mist would solidify and become rimes and poisons and fumes, and rivers would begin to run over their layers, and surfaces would rise up, and something solid began to form. The greatest of these rivers was called Elivagar, and its torrents ran across the face of this solid land, amidst the northern ices where it would freeze at the extreme end, and the southern fires where it would steam up into mists and fumes. And after a great long length of time, in between these two forces, it became calm and mild.
