The Draug, ancient monster within, unbounded of the Ecological Self and its Byzen ('the Pattern That Connects'), is loose upon the world, become the Searuvel ('evil machine'), wreaking Dilgoth, annihilating Life On Earth.
But the Drygand bears the Byzen in his Lodestone, which can return the Draug to his place in the Pattern That Connects.
Draug-- from Old Icelandic draugr= undead monster who leaves his grave-mound to lay waste the land; and from Persian drauga= wasteland demon.
Ecological Self-- eco-moral monist God, known as Feorgen ('life-god'), who was Wolken but became 'patterned' when Alwight became Drygand (see under Lodestone).
Byzen-- from OEng bysen= pattern, model, example.
Dilgoth-- the human-engineered 6th Extinction Event. from OEng dilgian= extirpate, annihilate.
Lodestone-- the transforming stone gestated in the Wolken, the nebulous biospheric Mind, which stone when impressed into the head of the playfully protean Alwight ('all-creatures'), turned him into the Drygand, the mystic warrior were-serpent, champion of the Biosphere and its ecological culture-civilization, the Menning.
And there you have the Mythos in brief. By the way, Drygand's 'y' is properly pronounced as u-umlaut, halfway between 'eh' and 'oo'. Yeah, weird, but necessary.
