Before the demon could progress further, however, [[Gaia]] manifested and rebuked him for interfering in Her realm, matching wills with him briefly before imprisoning him in a stone deep within the forest of [[Azdun]]. As punishment for his sins, Darnashta'i was set as the eternal guard on the bound demon. | Before the demon could progress further, however, [[Gaia]] manifested and rebuked him for interfering in Her realm, matching wills with him briefly before imprisoning him in a stone deep within the forest of [[Azdun]].

The Wyrm was stronger than the earthmother had thought, however, and during their apparently one-sided battle had managed to strike Her, infecting Her with a seed of his own hatred and arrogance. This seed grew, eventually causing Gaia to slay the elder god [[Twilight]] in what became known as [[Gaia's betrayal]]. | The Wyrm was stronger than the earthmother had thought, however, and during their apparently one-sided battle had managed to strike Her, infecting Her with a seed of his own hatred and arrogance.

With Gaia's passing, however, the spell that held the Wyrm weakened. Acting discreetly, he quickly bound terrified Darnashta'i into the stone where he had spent so many centuries, and began to move against the emerging power of [[Demeter]]. Lacking a corporeal form of his own, the Wyrm choose to invade the mind of the sleeping [[Celani]] who was to become Demeter, much as he had done to Gaia so many years before, but on a larger scale. Over time he solidified his control, planting seeds of arrogance and malevolence within the goddess until the day arrived when he finally grew powerful enough to seize control entirely, overthrowing Her in a fierce battle of wills. Demeter was banished to the Netherworld, and the Wyrm retreated into Azdun to recover from the struggle, diverting energy from Demeter's shrines to himself. | With Gaia's passing, however, the spell that held the Wyrm weakened.
