Cunning-Kings

When the Twayne gave the Lodestone in to the Alwight's head, it bore the natures of the both of them-- of Wildiar the cunning-man, and of Bilwit the sacred king.  And when the Alwight had become thus Drygand, he gave the Lodestone also in to each of them, it bearing his nature, as the Cunning-King, of All Lifekind.  And so each one was himself and both and Drygand.

And then from the Twayne was born Hal Twayneson, bearing both their new natures as his own, and as such, Hal the Erf, Cunning-King, and Bairnaborn of the Drygand.
