Elise, a woman of Batuu from the settlement of Skirl, found love and wedded Menir, a cultivator residing just outside the village. As time passed, Menir developed a rigid and inflexible nature, leading to his rage and assault on the visiting Iren when Elise offered him shelter. Iren departed, accidentally leaving behind a sack with three seeds. Menir scorned these seeds, tossing them away. These seeds rapidly sprouted into monstrous beings known as Drengir, who annihilated Menir's residence and caused Elise's death.
