Of the Beginning...

... As told in song by the minstrels of the king

..::..

Before the count of days

In the darkness of the night

There rose seven great fires

Burning with cold light

And amid the seven fires

There lived a spider great

Who thought to build a world

And weave the web of fate

That spider's name was Cuvulien

And she was mighty, but gentle too

Cuvulien was wise

And many things she knew

Cuvulien wove a net of flame

From the seven fires that burned

And placed the world in the net

And so the world turned

And then she made the birds and beasts

And from her saliva she made the seas

Then she built the mountains

Last she made the trees

And for three ages by reckoning of men

The animals lived alone

The spiders where the kings

Upon their spider web throne

But when three ages of men were past

Cuvulien thought to create the race of man

And those could think and reason

So the age of humans began

So Cuvulien made the Nanúra

The seven queens and seven kings

And they had many gifts

And they were named for these things

Their greatest gift was that of speech

And in their language they each were named

For song and strength, sight and wit

One great ability each of them claimed

First of the kings was Evarn the strong

And he could lift ten times his weight

His queen was Nanía, the intuitive one

And she could from one's eyes thus read their fate

Second of kings was Cauth the trickster

He was ever playing tricks on his peers

His queen was Elenína the singer

And her voice would not age with the years

Tímal was third of the kings

For he wrote many stories and tales

Arnóen was Tímal's good queen

And it is said that her kindness never fails

Tasuwen was fourth of the kings

And he was a smith, a carver of stones

His queen was Ecselienla of animals

She walked among them and sat on their thrones

Fifth of kings was Etelim of the sea

And he swan even as a whale

His queen was Cúdenna the fair

For her beauty could be hidden by no veil

Helím was sixth of the kings

And he was a hunter of beasts

Narethla was his queen of dreams

And she slept and dreamt and woke for no feasts

Caríeníl was last of the kings

And he had great ears and great sight

His queen was Nacúvula the weaver

For she wove things that shone with gold light

And the Nanúra made their homes

And had many children who were good

And the people lived in peace

And learned many things as they could
