The Underground Forest of Azdun was shoved underground by the Wyrm of Worlds. Summoned from the Netherworld by the Tsol'aa Darnashta'i in order to excise the blight of humanity from Sapience, the demon was bound in a cocoon of energy by Gaia. As Gaia was granting forgiveness to Darnashta'i, the demon secreted into the goddess's essence a seed made of his own hatred, paranoia, and arrogance. This seed festered silently within the goddess, taking effect many years later, in the form of Gaia's betrayal.
