They sang of his friend and ally Ilmarinen, first among craftsmen, the blacksmith who forged the dome of the heavens.They sang of Louhi, the ancient lady of Northland, whose crafty wit and magical powers made her a worthy opponent for Vainamoinen himself. And they sang of Aila, Louhis lovely daughter, who captured the hopes of the two old friends and drew them as rivals to the shores of Northland.And while these songs could still be heard, there came along a rural doctor, a scholar, who gathered and wove them together in a book he called the Kalevala.
