Amdis

Amdis, the White Spirit, was the being who created Athirú, the world as it is known.



Creation of the Elves
He brought into the world the Ilar elhín, with the  Ilarea  (EEL-ah-ree-ah), or Spirit Fire, flowing strong through them, and their descendants became known as the Liathelhín  or Grey Elves. The High Alvar then created the  Dunelhín.

Creation of Men
The first of the mortal creatures to be brought into the world was Man. There grew to be thirteen distinct Houses of men, however only one of those was known as the High House, to be supported by twelve Great Houses. Each of those thirteen was blessed with the Spirit Fire.
