'''Father Wyrm''' is not as he was.
===History===
Father Wyrm descended from the Glory with his beloved [[Mother Songbird]] a long time ago. Together, they deposed of the House's thunderous king, [[The Fulminate]]. Together, they ruled the House of the Wyrm as wise and benevolent monarchs. Together, they sired four children: [[The Crownprince]], [[The Hearthkeeper]], [[Her Scarred Serenity]], and [[The Demiurge]]. But as any student of the Histories knows, the Mansus is not a place for lovers. The Demiurge's birth was perilous and troublesome, and in the end, Mother Songbird went Nowhere with a scream.
This devastated Father Wyrm. Consumed with grief, he shattered the Mansus-soil and plunged deep to grasp his beloved. When he found her, she was entangled by [[The Briarsalt]]'s vines. No one but the two know what transpired next, but the Wyrm returned empty-handed, and with him-- his regrets. They gushed out like a tsunami, drowning everything in their path. Eventually, they reached and poisoned the Sea, turning it into what we now know as the Sea of Regret. Father Wyrm sunk to its bottom and never rose to the surface again. His regret, grief, and anguish were so great, they spawned his grief-born children: [[The Nizvestier Within]], [[A Stock-Woven Watcher]], and [[The Transfinite Question]].
===Appearance===
Father Wyrm takes the form of an incredibly long black serpent, caught in the twists and turns of his own body and biting his tail.
===Principles===
In the past, Father Wyrm used to be the Hour of doors, wounds, crossroads, taking great risks, and doing what must be done, no matter the cost. His principles were Knock and Lantern.
Now, however, he is the Hour of dread, self-destructive anger, regrets, grief, things that must end, and past mistakes. His principles are Winter, for the painful memories he dwells on, Edge, for the internal struggle, and Knock, for he opens doors still.
==Worship==
No one worships Father Wyrm. No one sane, not anymore.
===Cult===
The Earth-Devourers are a cult of madmen dedicated to what has become of Father Wyrm. They believe that the Collision is a sign that the world is broken and that only the Tail-Eating Serpent can fix it by devouring it and giving birth to a new one from within himself. Their goal is to get him to leave the waters of the Sea of Regret that keep him from falling into an agony-induced rage.
