+Ancient Merindorans believe that before the world was created there was a place called Ganindara. Ganindara was a cold and dark place void of stars and sun.  Rivers flowed from mountians and formed great oceans. The waves from the oceans beat against the mountains until three giant sculpters were formed. A being from the heavens, Merindora, happened upon Ganidara and saw thes scupters.  Merindora was cast from his own world and was given the ability to cast one spell. Once he cast the spell he would soon cease to exist.  Merindora was lonely from travelling throught the heavens for unknown millenia. When he saw the statues he used the spell to bring alivve the sculputrs. The sculpters cam alive and he called them Gods and named them Millan, Ouduna, and Rysuan.   Merindora enjoyed his last days with the Gods he created. When Merindora died they buried him in the center of the triangle where the lifelss statues once stood. The earth growled and moaned for 5 days and soon a huge land mass was born. The Gods named this Merindora.
+The Gods grew weary of Merindora and wanted to be in the heavens. Before they departed they wanted Merindora to be bathing light and be lush with vegetation and creatures so their Fathers soul will not be lonely.  Millan went to the frozen waste land and heaved a giant slab of ice into the air. It burst into many tiny pieces of ice and one large ones to become the sun and the stars. Ouduna travelled

+ was lonely and t region, and consisted of ice, frost and fog. Niflheim was in the northern region of Ginunngagap. To the south of Ginunngagap there were a place called Muspelheim it was the land of fire. In Muspelheim there was a giant named Surt, he was the ruler of the land. Muspelheim was the home of the fire demons and fire giants. Between Niflheim and Muspelheim there was a great void, this vast emptiness was called Ginnungagap.
+It is said that in Nilfheim at a place called Hvergelmir, that all cold rivers come from here, and it was said to be the source of the eleven rivers. Hvergelmir was the origin of all existence and the place where every living will go back. Elivagar “ice waves” are the rivers which existed in Niflheim at the beginning of the world. They were the streams floating out of Hvergelmir. The water from Elivagar flowed down the mountains to the plains of Ginnungagap, where it solidified to frost and ice, which gradually formed a very dense layer. That was the reason there was very cold in the northern plains. From the south where Muspelheim was, there came lava and sparks into Ginnungagap. In the middle of Ginnungagap the air from Niflheim and Muspelheim met, the fire melted the ice and it began to drip and there grew therefrom a humanoid creature. It was a Jotun by the name Ymir. While Ymir slept, the sweat under his arms grew two more giants, one male and one female, and one of his legs paired with the other to create a third, a son Thrudgelmir “Strength Yeller” These were the first of the family of frost giants or Jotuns. They were breastfed by the cow giant Audhumla who, like Ymir, was created from the melting ice in Ginnungagap. Audhumla herself fed on a block of salty ice, and while she were liking on the rock something freaky happed. On the first day some human hair emerged from the rock. The second day Audhumla licked the rock; a head grew from the stone. At last on the third day the rest of the body came out. The man who had grown out of the salty rock was Buri, the first of the gods. Buri was a giant big and handsome. He had a son called Borr, and he got married to Bestla, a Jotun woman. Borr and Bestla had three sons, Odin, Vili and Ve. Odin and his two brothers were bothered by the fact that the Jotuns outnumbered the Aesir. The giant troll was constantly conceiving new Jotuns. The only solution they could see was to kill Ymir. The three brothers waited until Ymir was asleep before they assaulted him. A horrifying battle emerged. Using all their strength they managed to kill Ymir. The blood spouted out with furious force in every direction. Most of the Jotuns drowned in the flood of blood. Only two Jotuns survived, Bergelmir and his wife. The couple found asylum in the land of mist, and saved their lives. All future Jotuns descended from this couple.

 ==Society==
 Kerelian society has a love for music and to a lesser degree arts and sciences. Everything from personal names to the names of cities reflect the musical heritage. Most Kerelians live in large cities with vast farmland in between. An advanced transportation system consists of Transporters and a complex network of "near the speed of light" magnetic rail cars. They are an advanced technological society with a rating of N+ on the [[T/E Rating System|Telepathic/Empathic Scale]]but choose to live as an agrarian society who still works the farmlands by hand and animal.  Technological wonders that have seen their birth on Kerelia are used sparingly. Utilities such as water and power plants are automated  requiring  minimal maintenence and giving citizens the time to focus on their personal intersts.  The Kerelian Academy of Sciences still produce galaxy class scientists who are sought through out the Federation.
