Asmorium, Abyssal Disturbance and Wyrmgod of Fear and Unease

Return to previous page.

Asmorium was the fourth Wyrmgod to awaken and like Vengosa, it is poorly understood. Those who do know of it refer to it as the Wyrmgod of Fear or the Wyrmgod of Unease due to how the majority of its Wyrms possess abilities pertaining to the two concepts. Its domain is Agradath, a land whose environment constantly shifts, making it impossible to navigate. Wyrmwitches have previously attempted to communicate with Asmorium and while these attempts have technically been successful, none have been able to decipher the meaning of the Wyrmgod's words. In the current day, it is rare for Wyrmwitches to be willing to speak to Asmorium due to the fact that those who communicate with it end up bleeding from the eyes. Two of the more well-known utterances of this Wyrmgod have been translated, they are "Red Wound of the southwest sea incised by the obscure, ululations of the bleeding tide." and "Flesh-Dancer sings in the age of unlight, ceasing nonexistence.".

While Asmorium's Wyrms are very rarely encountered, they are among the most dangerous and if one is even sighted near a settlement, its inhabitants are ordered to evacuate. Within the span of 150 years, this has only happened twice, neither of these settlements still exist and in the case of the Slaazmadi city of Oromaazi, it was if it never existed at all. The remains of the other settlement, the city of Kla'Marud in Vandir, can still be explored to this day, but only licensed Wyrmkillers are authorized to enter it.

Notes

Asmorium was originally designed around 2017 and has probably been through the most design changes of all the Wyrmgods. Before I made it a part of Talveria, it was simply a normal, if somewhat bizarre dragon that was named Azerauth, though I then changed its name to Asmorium in 2018. Once it became a part of Talveria in around 2019 or 2020, I decided it had an obsessive need to gather knowledge. This remained a part of its personality up until 2026 when I realized I was no longer satisfied with this version of it and changed from the Wyrmgod of Knowledge to the Wyrmgod of Unease (and Fear).
