Remembrance of the Wyrm

A dread possibility cut from Gazetteer IV to accompany the entry for Hroth.

Not all Sithicans have forgotten, or at least chosen to forget, the god-wyrms of their blasted shrines. Thaumiol, an outcast from the arcane caste of Hroth, has pieced together the ancient legends and become a devoted disciple of the Many-Headed Devourer, seeking to draw her attention back to Sithicus and to reap the power that that attention would bestow. So intense is his fervor that his body slowly began to change, taking on aspects of a green dragon. The deformities forced Thaumiol to retreat to the marshland south of Hroth, where he eventually discovered what he considers to be a literal godsend: the preserved corpse of a massive, five-headed lernaean cryohydra, sunken in a bog. Thaumiol believes this body to be an emissary of the Many-Headed Devourer, and now seeks the means to animate it as his servant. That done, he intends to hunt down the rangers who protect Hroth, then teach its faithless inhabitants what comes to those who forget their gods.
