Galdun

The Ohanedin believe that the common ancestor of their people was one man, Galdun, who they depict as being dark skinned like a Burdinadin, but with fiery red hair and green eyes, like one of their own.
The individual named Galdun did exist, but he was merely a warlord whose name survived because he built many stone monuments to himself in primordial times to commemorate his conquests, which the spirits were later able to identify as "Galdun's Teeth." The Ohanedin worship him as a sort of War God, and still occasionally invoke his name in battle.
Though they don't know it, the Ishkaldin themselves were horrified by Galdun's behavior, because building monuments to oneself was considered a heinous act of hubris. The Ishkaldin believed in creating monuments only to the gods, never to men. Galdun was exiled to an island off the coast of Iber, where he continued making many monuments to himself to spite his punishment.
