In the world of The Star Stone, when the Twelve sent out their deepest thoughts into the depths of their new world, Ganwelor, and began assembling life from its smallest parts, they so longed for their old world that they intermingled some elements of old Kellethon with the elements of this new world and the result was a people who along with their offspring are known as Eldhammar.
They had something of the old world mingled into their very substance and many of them, though not all, could recall visions of old Kellethon with its sublime skies, gigantic trees, expansive seas and other wonders of that ancient and bygone world.
Some whom they brought forth were practically a resurrected form of those whom they remembered most fondly from that old now desolate world that existed in a former age. In this way, they lived again.
Throughout The Star Stone, we meet characters who are of the Eldhammar. It is said that they recognise each other, though they may not know why they get such a feeling.
Thengolis is of this class of people though he knows nothing of it other than the fact that when he stands near the Sentinels (the Twelve—the Zalladdria Thalladdrimm), he sees visions of a world truly sublime, beyond anything experienced in this world but which are presented in his mind as real as this world—in fact more real. The substance of the things in this world are as a mere reflection of reality, as if having a ghostly transparency, when they are compared with things he sees in his mind's eye while absorbed in his world of visions—visions of things which are from a greater reality.
