Here is part 2 of basic lore. "Of the First Five Realms." Note Shad'vor is in part three along with the Titan of night.

After Ma'at the wise came upon the Titans, the two oldest, Fyra and Ymír, felt a strange spirit come upon them. Then they came to the first fire and the first frost, and then looked upon in a new light. Then Ymír took the frost and fashioned it into a shape, and Fyra did the same with the fire. Then they stood back and admired there work. The first two realms had appeared. They were Niflhiem, the realm of ice, and Muspelhiem, the realm of fire. They were not part of the tree, but connected to it, and one could travel from one realm to another by way of the tree. Ma'at brought the other Titans there and showed the realms to them. Then a strange spirit came upon the other Titans and they were amazed at the creations, but they also saw five other realms similar to them. Ma'at commanded them, "Go now and fashion your visions!" The Titans then went forward and created five other realms. First they fashioned Asgard. Asgard was a huge city, floating upon a massive sea, the creation of Pontos. Next they created Vanahiem, a beautiful realm of sunny fields and sweet tricking streams. Then Hespera went to Vanahiem and covered it in grass, the first other living thing. Then hundreds of animals were created, and smaller versions of Yggdrasil, trees. They were spread far across the grassland, providing spots of shade. Vanahiem was a beautiful land. Then the Titans created Jotunhiem. It was a wild land full of canyons and snowy mountains. Wild evergreen forests graced it's rocky crags. Many vicious and powerful beasts were created to roam the land. Next the Titans created another realm, Alfhiem. It was full of light forests and glades, with many shady groves and glades. Many hunting creatures and powerful deer raced through the forests. Finally the Titans crafted Svartelhiem. Svartalhiem was an enormous cavern, full of mountains and dark caves. Finally the Titans stood back and admired their handiwork. As they did so, two new Titans appeared. Gaia, was the Titan of earth. She was the Titan of the Rock and dirt that lay under all the realms. There was also Aris, Titan of air. He was the embodiment of the gases that cloaked each realm, so the animals and plants could breath. Then the Titans went into their favorite realms and their was happiness in the world tree.
