The Unending Worm

Revision as of 04:08, 9 August 2018 by Evoro, Paints-in-Blood (talk | contribs) (Names)

The Unending Worm (also known as the Yearning Maw and the World-Wurm) is the Twenty-Ninth Hour of the Second Fansus, created by Evoro and is the first of the Gods-from-Nowhere to occupy the new House. It constantly burrows and unravels itself from its anchor somewhere within the Nowhere, creating tunnels and filling them with its stony exterior in its attempts to reach the Sun.

History

Description

Appearance

Principles

The Unending Worm represents freedom from restrictions and constraints, as well as a compulsion to strive for distant goals. Since its arrival in the Mansus, the Worm has become the solid foundations upon which the Mansus rests, having tunnelled deep beneath it and wrapping around itself in its endless search for the Sun. Through a follower of the Worm's constant efforts to reach their higher goals, they may craft the groundwork of an organisation or historic event, through which further construction of society can occur. However, through their constant tunnelling beneath the surface, they may undermine the existing foundations and structure, toppling the precariously balanced constructs of civilisation, sowing chaos in their wake.

Names

Cipactli, the Earthen Blood

Resembling its Aztec namesake, Cipactli roams the surface of the earth as easily as swimming through water; a multitude of crocodilian eyes peer out from its primary maw as it traverses the terrain, acting as the Unending Worm's eyes and ears above-ground. When it occasionally traverses into the Histories, it burrows into mortal dreams and eats away at doubts and fears for sustenance as it scouts for the Worm.
