===The Devourer Wurm===

The other great big god of the setting; Chaotic Neutral God of the Wilderness. The Wurm represents wild beasts, forests, and all that jazz. However, he is not a peaceful happy nature god; he is into blood sacrifice, burning down cities, and creating monsters for the fun of it. He's such a jerk that in the background lore a lot of his defeated worshipers converted to Menoth as he was the more benign of the two. Like Menoth, he's too preoccupied fighting his arch-rival to pay any attention to the world. Wurm-worshippers tend to be savage wild cannibals. His worshipers believe that they will get to join his eternal hunt across Urcaen when they die, looking for lost souls to eat and laying siege to the City of Man.

The [[Circle Orboros]] view the Wurm and Dhunia as two aspects of the same god, representing the destructive and nurturing aspects of nature respectively, although their version of this single god is a lot closer to the Wurm than Dhunia. They believe that Menoth and the Wurm must remain in balance, or the losing party will try to escape into Caen and probably step on and/or eat it in short order. Since Menoth is so powerful what with the spread of civilization and all, so they're trying to take civilization down a few pegs. If the wilderness was too powerful, they'd <s>build a metropolis or two</s>stomp the remaining civilisation into the Stone Age, so that it wouldn't attract Wurm's attention since he would be already in charge.
