  SPEAKER_00: She received each soul at death and returned it to a new life.

  SPEAKER_00: In his opinion, creation had stalled.

  SPEAKER_00: Fashgayout, Blomster and Röde listened to this and agreed that it would be more interesting if the inhabitants of the planets could bring about change themselves.

  SPEAKER_00: If a soul could carry knowledge from one life to the next, something new might emerge.

  SPEAKER_00: And so they decided to create humans.

  SPEAKER_00: Together, they began to shape a figure that resembled several of their previous creations, yet was different from them all.

  SPEAKER_00: It would walk upright, on two legs instead of four.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_00: It would have arms instead of wings, and hands capable of holding and carrying things, leaving its mouth free for speech.
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_00: They also agreed that Fashgayout's way of bringing forth life would serve as the foundation.
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_00: Their new creations would bear their young within their own bodies, rather than produce eggs, roots, or seeds.

  SPEAKER_00: With these fundamentals settled, the three Alvaldugers were ready to begin.
