Wyrm History

Wolcen(OEng)= cloud, sky; ball, lump. Wolken(Ger)= cloud.
Wyrm(OEng)= worm, snake, reptile, dragon. Urwyrm= the primordial wyrm.
Samen(Ger)= seed, sperm.

The Urwyrm meanders throughout the warm earthen seed-bed of the Wolken, the biospheric mind inhabiting its biotic dream.  This hermaphroditic worm luxuriates in this fertile matrix rich in its castings, feeds on the Wolken's samen, the vital fluid, and the warmth of gestation incubates the consumed samen in the worm's fore-end into a mazeway-pattern of condensed life-knowledge, becoming its brain-mind.

In time, the Wolken is more like a misty cloud in which the samen further condenses in the wyrm's brain like mist does into hailstone, and so the Lodestone forms.  The Urwyrm now is more like an aerial serpent weaving in and out of this vast cloud, crackling with lightning-flashes.

In time further, when the Lode is fully forged, it falls to earth, to the center of all things, where it waits and calls to the Twayne-- Bilwit and Wildiar.  And thus begins the foundational myth of the Mythos, in which the seed-crystal of the Urwyrm melds with the brain-mind of the Alwight, and the Drygand is born.

Note: In the world of the deep mind, things can mysteriously transmute and form odd conjunctions, as they do in dreams, and so do they here, but not nonsensically-- it all means something important. It's evocative, suggestive, vague, intuitive, rather than sharp, clear, and rational.
