Once glorious dragons, these vile creatures were tricked by the god Tark into betraying their sacred trust, releasing the Kaeden from their dark prison. They were since cursed by the god Hruul to crawl in the dust on their bellies. Their legs shriveled up to the point where they had to slither and crawl like worms. It is very common for cultures that hate dragons to smash the legs of stone dragon statues to make them appear to be wyrms.
The fallen dragons have been hunted extensively by the Baal, and most have fled to the far or dark places of Ambar such as the cold north, desert, mountains, or tunnels beneath the surface. Many wyrms wriggled off to dark places and deep caves, often chasing Dwur out of their golden halls. In the north, these ignoble beasts terrorize the land for many miles until they are hunted down by the fierce Kith.
Many wyrms have been further corrupted by the Kaeden or the Lord of Lies, and openly worship Tark.
