Eventually, as time went by, the Titans began to move farther away from each other. The realms were far apart on a great tree and they needed a place where they could meet safely and easily to discuss things. However whenever they decided on the realm the Titans who stayed in that realm felt more powerful than the others. They tried alternating turn but then those Titans whose realms held meetings for a lesser crisis felt cheated and were angry. In the end they asked Ma'at for her counsel, and she commanded them, "Go forth and ask the wanderer. Only he shall be wise enough to help you." The Titans pondered her words for many days and nights, but at last they decided they must appeal to Eru. He was by no means an extraordinary Titan. He always wore ragged clothes, carried a staff, and was much smaller than the other Titans. He would wander the eight realms solving disputes between animals and sometimes even Titans. When the powerful Titans asked him for guidance he was most surprised, but quickly took control of the situation. For Eru was no minor Titan. He was a Titan of harmony and creation, so he knew just what to do. He came to them and said, "It has been let known that I must decide on a meeting place for you, but I can not. For there is no place in Yggdrasil without affiliation to some Titan or higher power. Therefore it has become known to me that we must make another realm! This will be a combination of our thoughts and dreams. Let it be so!" And then Eru brought them to the middle of the tree and their he assembled them, "Here we shall make a new realm! It will have affiliation to none, and yet be brighter and more prosperous than any before! We will call it Midgard, or the middle realm. Let it be so!" Then Eru used the thoughts and dreams of the other Titans to make a new realm. This was Midgard. He placed between Nidavellir and Jotunhiem, and between them he brought up the tallest mountains in the realms and filled them with a thousand monsters. Then he made a moat around Midgard that all must cross. He did this so Midgard might be the most defensible of the realms. Then he made the realm itself, and it was very different from the others. It was full of diversity, for in some placesq there were tall mountains while in others there were low deserts.Then Hespera came among it and filled it with many forms of life. But most Titans looked upon it and were disappointed in the might of the realm and halfheartedly congratulated Eru and went back to their own realms. But Eru knew he had created a realm that would be more magnificent than the others and he was happy to wait.
