First sentence: Only once have Dwarves lived within the Void, as they call the land roofed by the sky; when the Titans slept  in punishment for their infidelities, and there was no more Day or Night, and all the land lived in a Perpetual Twilight.
Description: Emily Snyder's mythical world of the Twelve Kingdoms, introduced in the full-length novel Niamh and the Hermit, is brought to life again in Chaming the Moon. This little tome contains a pair of short stories which elaborate upon the ancient history of the Twelve Kingdoms, hearkening back to the Perpetual Twilight when there was no Day or Night.

Östrung the Giant tells the tale of the pining young Sun who longed to be reunited with his love the Moon, enlisting the help of a kindly giant to carry him to the very western edge of the world.
