===Birth of the Worm Gods===
===Rise of the Worm Gods===
Billions of years ago, a species of aquatic, paracausally-empowered serpentine creatures lived on the planet [[Fundament]], where they led a peaceful existence. However, at some point they became seduced by the philosophy of the Witness, and began to fight and kill each other in order to achieve ascendancy through the [[Sword Logic]]. As they fought, they called upon the Darkness and used it as a weapon, an act once considered unthinkable among their kind. Many of the creatures died in the planet-wide bloodbath that ensued, with at least one individual, [[Ahsa]], managing to escape and leave Fundament entirely; others underwent a transformation, becoming the powerful Darkness-aligned entities known as the [[Worm Gods]].
