Mythsynthesis

The chaotic, destructive Dragon evolved/transformed into the shamanic, totemic Drygand; and so, the fearsome primeval Dragon-monster becomes "God" (the Self-archetype of Man-in-Biosphere).  This happened when the Lodestone had formed in the Wolken, and was then dubbed on the Alwight by its human finders, Wil and Bil.  At once, Alwight also becomes Drygand, Wolken becomes Feorgen, and Wil and Bil (the Twayne) become the first Mennings.  And there is a change in the Wyrd of Earth.

The Lodestone was engendered in response to the ecological crisis of the Biosphere, gestated by the Wolken, implanted in the Alwight's head, and conferred in turn on the Twayne by the new-fledged Drygand, and thence to other humans ready for the Cherrenge from Man to Menning.

Drygand-- the ecological "God", a synthesis of Drygand, Alwight, and other nature-gods.
Wolken-- inchoate Nature-mind.
Alwight-- the protean Pan-chimaera of all species.
Feorgen-- conscious and intent Nature-mind, of which Drygand is an avatar.
Cherrenge-- the transformation of Man to Menning (Eco-mensch).
Menning-- the ecological culture-civilization of the Mennings.

This is the foundational myth of the Shaggy Sagenverden (myth-world).
