You are listening to stories from Väruld. In this episode, Lore, the Birth of the Allvaldughers.

Speaker 1

Modhir and her stiärnas were alone in space for as long as thousands of human lives. Then in the rim where Modhir’s warmth no longer reached and the coldness of space awaited, another form of life came to be: The Allvaldughers. These were a completely different form of life than Modhir. They were not warm nor cold, light nor dark. They had thoughts. The unities of opposites that were previously the only thing existing in space had developed into complexity, with mixes, giving shades and nuances between the opposites. No Allvaldugher was the other alike. Over the time of thousands of human lives, they grew from a single thought in space to the Allvaldughers we have today; they each found their own areas of enjoyment. Blomster searched for and cared for the beauty of all growing from the ground. Farskajaut did the same with all growing from a womb. Rödhe cared for all things born from an egg. While these three were caring and searched for beauty, Brander did not care for those things at all. She enjoyed the flames of fire. When the water came to be, Diup was there to care for it. Avärkan knew humans would have to work to survive and was there to give them strength. In time, the living needed care between their lives. Sial took that role as hers as she was the last of the Allvaldughers, and no other task was free.
