De Tyumuneskub — Dorelithe
The great Dream sings to Tyumune.
To Tyumune calls Oiveden —
the house of the Dream in the Void —
and Tyumune, wise, answers it.
Al-Oiveden tells the Prophet:
I was alone before Raimed
The oldest god, the Dreaming One.
And with Raimed came the great Dream.
And from that Dream, tells Oiveden,
came the Orders, in pairs, to Us:
Rodea first and Seaoch next
the Tighil bright and Tigne dark.
And last came Thead with young Eivel
who bicker and quarrel between
the first who ends what last began
and the last who creates anew.
The Orders six were given worlds
which closely fit their many ways,
and over them to watch and dream
stood Raimed’s own Eden, the star.
For Seaoch was Sanitsh in fire
where hot his wrath could burn away
from the world of Tigne, Robiteb,
and Tighil’s own, bluest Thaereb,
Nepuli for Eivel and life,
and Rethen, veiled, for Thead’s spirits.
Between the two was Robiteb
and blue Thaereb for Tighil bright.
Rodea last was given Thaer
the stagnant, cold, and unchanging;
And Robiteb the lot of Tigne
and Thaereb blue for bright Tighil.
Al-Thaereb was a world of green
with fertile soil and lively seas,
for Eivel came and blessed it that
Tighil’s own world would surely grow.
But Seaoch looked and saw Thaereb
And that if Tigne’s inheritance
and saw that it was plentiful
and he became a jealous god.
Astran he made of scarlet stone
A thief to steal and to corrupt
For Robiteb was sent Delsome
to bring the worlds under his sway.
Astran whispered; Delsome sang,
about the good of Seaoch’s ways.
And all the while did Raimed watch
the Dreamer on its golden throne.
But Tigne saw this, Rodea too
and brought his sword upon Delsome.
The moon, shattered, hung in the sky
O’er Robiteb the trophy lies.
Now, Tighil was a peaceful one;
He would not strike red Astran down.
Rodea, though, could watch and see
all that Astran did to Thaereb.
Unmoving she made the pale Iun
and sent it down to Thaereb blue
to hold her true and guide her straight
and chase Astran to save Thaereb.
So arose the moons of Thaereb
and so was made the Delsome belt.
For Robiteb and Thaereb are
the pride of Tign, and Tighil’s joy.
Raimed, Dreamer, was not finished.
They created Aimed, twice-born,
who birthed Dorel, king of the gods,
lord of the dance and king of feasts.
Then was Ferir and his sister
lords of all life and Eivelar.
For the sky-life and Cesodun
of Al-Thaereb and wisest Uode.
Then Shulvij, guard of travellers
and Narago and Sartemmi
Éon, Kvinar, Niun of Twilight
lastly Eisken of the wide sky.
So Oiveden told the Prophet;
To Tyumune his story gave.
In Aldannel across the sea
the Prophet wrote the words of gods.
