After Solenth was completed and many of the Aenir had been gathered there from across the void, the Ere All took Allore and Nilore in unequal measure and worked an alloy in full view of those gathered. His craftsmanship was without peer and was witnessed by all, for it occured beneath the lantern.
To those watching it seemed that the Ere All was able to make music with the strokes of his Hammer and cause the alloy to dance with the working of the Forge. Every beat brought something new into being. None of his movements were wasted. The showers of sparks that spun out across the dark void, made things that had never been imagined. The scale that dropped from the moving alloy became things that hadn't been considered.
In this way, all the stars came into being. Planets and moons were formed. Clouds, rings and shadows were filled with the multitude of celestial objects. Each of the worlds and all of their orders were made. These were beautiful of themselves, but taken together they were more wonderful still.
In the mind of the Seven, the greatest of these worlds was that which the Ere All put nearest to Solenth. For this he did to honor what they had fashioned. So this world they called Erenth, which in the High Speech is the Fore Thought. Because though they knew it not at the beginning, they realized it had been in the mind of the Creator from the very first.
