Summary
Now that the world was made, shaped, and refined into something solid and beautiful upon which the tallest of trees grew and the mountains loomed majestic over the valleys, cliffs, and waterfalls below—all things which he had helped cut and carve with his own hands—there was no more need for those hands to help shape the world, and so he had traded the valleys, the mountains, the cliffs, and the hills for a smaller workspace known as a forge, where he worked with metal, ore, and stone.
