World-Eating 101

These two texts come to us from the World-Eating 101 thread, and operate on the following premise: 

Assume "The Dawn Era was the End of the Previous Kalpa. The new Kalpa begins with the first day of the Merethic Era."

Then put on your lore-hats and start looking hard at the ramifications of that.

Besides being interesting in terms of chronology and myth, they also offer insight into the Nordic worldview. The original thread can still be found here.
