Legend
The saga tells the story of Tilind Tilindson who was a powerful and wealthy farmer, and lived by the river Naumelv. He had a barn with a thousand cows and fields as far as the eyes could see. But one spring, when the river usally was at its largest, the river started to dry out. A giant beaver named Porundar had built a enormous beaverdam clogging the entire river. Soon the river had run dry and the eltire lake was just mud. With the fresh water gone, the cows soon started to die and the crops to dry out and wither away. With his fortune almost ruined Tilind had to do something. He tried to destroy the dam several times, but neither boast with hooks, battering rams or fire managed to tear the giant construction down. One last time he tried, in desperation he sacrificed his last cows to the sun god and prayed for his help. And the sun god answered. The next day the sun was shining with a burning glow. Tilind had never seen enything like it. He thanked the sun god and with the help og a mirror he mannaged to reflect the beams from the sun into the dam. Soon it started to smoke and embers started glowing, and not long after the entire dam was set ablaze with such intense flames even the water from the river could not put it out. And so the dam crumbled and the enormous masses of water were released down the river and into the lake. There were so much water that the lake could not contain it all and the lake started overflowing its banks. So is the story of how lake .... and lake ... merged together and since that day the lake has been known as Tilind's Mirror.

The Mirror he used, is supposedly the same mirror as Oddvar Torsønn Sølvfell have in his hall.
