> 2. Prydmysnul (Prid-mis-null) the stone, prince of earth and forest. His
> dwelling is the forest itself, which he named Nolse-Durin (the Forest of

> 3. Glamdryn (Glam-drin) the wise, Prince of Knowledge and thought. He is the

> 4. Brolhern the angry, prince of pyre and immolation. He controls fire, as
