The Earth Wyrm
The Protector of Ardlam
The Great Wyrm of Ardlam
Divine Domains
Like all the great Wyrms, the Earth Wyrms influence is greatly reduced since its death in the Age of Conflict. It is associated with Blue, Copper, Crystal, and Forest dragons and is thought to be representative of the dragons endurance and fortitude.
Artifacts
Like all dragon-kind, the Earth Wyrm's bones are said to hold great power, and were infused with Enthos magic by Yea to create Gromir, the first Beetling. Afterwards, Gromir utilized the remaining bones to craft the fortified city of Khansa and its defending Golems, whose walls have yet to ever be breached by an invading force.
Holy Books & Codes
Like all Great Wyrms, the Earthen left no holy books or writings of any kind, leaving its draconic offspring to interpret its wishes purly through ancestral instincts.
Divine Symbols & Sigils
Like all of the Great Wyrms, the Earthens symbol is a curled up dragon, although its sigil is usally depicted with spikey protrusions and crystal formations.
Tenets of Faith
As a dead deity, the Earth Wyrm has no firm tenets. Its major goal was the protection of Ardlam, and thus her few followers work to try to stabilize the various conflicts of the realm.
Holidays
On the 10th of Arda, The Beetlngs of Khansa celebrate a day known as the Construction, were they offer prayers of thanks to the bones of the Earth Wyrm for its continued protection.
Divine Goals & Aspirations
The Earth Wyrms main goal was the protection of Ardlam, and it seems that Gromir has inherited much of his progenitors drive. Gromir seeks the stabilization of the Underrealm and the protection of the Enthos, but often attempts to recruit and work with Wyrm Worshipers. He also seems to have ambition to one day rise to the surface and continue the Earth Wyrms protection of the realm as a whole.
Physical Description
Body Features
The Earth Wyrm is said to have been the greatest armored of the Great Wyrms, said to be inpenetrable to all physical harm.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
The Earth Wyrm is among the four elemental Wyrms, emerging second behind The Eldest Wyrm. Little is known about the Earth Wyrms history, as it was known to spend long amounts of time in hibernation. Some even believe that whatever slew the best did so while they were slumbering. Others belive that the Earth Wyrm curiously followed Gara into the depths, helping to create The Underrealm, but was either carelessly trampled to death by the great beast, or encountered something else so great and terrible in the depths that caused their death despite her great armor.
