The Wormridden
The Circle of Rust and the Worm is a Talassan cabal of crazed sages and mystic spellcasters of assorted disciplines, both religious and secular, intent on bringing about the end of the world by natural forces and the inherent instability of civilization. The group’s name refers to the unstoppable destruction inflicted on living things and their creations by the passage of time, symbolized by the rust that assails sword and shield and maggots that break down flesh. Although the faith of Talos is most commonly associated with the destructive force of nature, including storms, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, and the like, the efforts of the Rustworms, as members are known, to bring about destruction on a longer timescale have won the Destroyer’s favor as well. Some members of the Circle of Rust and the Worm seek to destroy Faerun through the unleashing of some great long-lasting cataclysm, while others focus their efforts on destroying the hallmarks of civilization, leaving a legacy of fallen kingdoms in their wake.
The Circle of Rust and the Worm has an active presence in the Open Marches south of Daggerford, under the leadership of a Rustworm named Torleth Mindulspeer (see below), proprietor of Torleth’s Treasures in Gillian’s Hill. Unbeknownst to his fellow villagers, Torleth leads a group of bandits based in heart of the Sword Hills. The bandits, who call themselves the Swords of the Worm, serve as Torleth’s mailed fist, allowing him to attack and plunder passing caravans bearing unusual trophies. Such trophies inevitably make their way into his shop after passing through several less-than-trustworthy hands.
Torleth is also served by a variety of individuals who spy on his behalf. The Wormeyes, as Torleth calls them, include such notable spies as Arayndar Delimbiyr (see below), a captain in the Daggerford militia, who keeps Torleth informed of ongoings in Daggerford (and thus all the PCs’ exploits that are reported back to Sherlen), Dygath Hornspar (see below), Baron Cromm’s huntmaster, who engineers the lizardfolk raid on Redhand Keep (see Mission #1), and Lyandra of Scornubel, a serving wench at the Way Inn, who alerts Torleth to the rare map carried by Meldar Farwander (see Mission #3).
Collectively, Torleth, the Swords of the Worm, and the Wormeyes make up the Wormridden, the local cell of the Circle of Rust and the Worm.
