Haizkeim

=Everywhere at the beginning of Time,=  "From the ashes of nothing, Yuno mended his own spirit and being into existence. From his living flesh, he birthed mortal man into creation. Many looked just like him, others changed and became something unique. Their primal drive led them to wander the earth; leaving their Father of Ash, alone. Yuno felt something deep inside him, just like the thousands of effigies of mankind sprang forth from his soul out unto the world. However these two, his children, felt grow tightly onto his arms. Contorting and tearing, taking their fathers bones and flesh and mending it to their own. They too, like their primeval father, birthed themselves into Creation; Odenum and Vallenir. 

' Yuno spoke to his Son and Daughter; “I want you to take what I have, and will continue to give you; I wish to be sacrificed in the name of our future and the future of all love and suffering to come. Take your hands and peel my flesh to build atop this empty place.” '

 Odenum and Vallenir respected their progenitor’s dying wish, and tore him limb from limb in the name of creation." -  Excerpt from Bók I  =The History,= Haizkeim stems from The Midjorisk and their ancestral beliefs.
