While most had simply accepted their fate, Darnashta'i wished to excise the blight of humanity from Sapience, eventually turning to arcane rituals to summon a hideous [[demons|demon]] lord, the [[Wyrm of Worlds]], from the [[Netherworld]]. This demon was so powerful as to never be under threat of domination by Darnashta'i, but play along the Wyrm did anyway. Darnashta'i presented his plea to free the forest of humans, which the demon granted. The demon produced a dark mist that stole the souls of the humans, transforming them into hideous, screaming haunts and spectres. The mist then proceeded to turn on the Tsol'aa as well, much to the horror of Darnashta'i. | While most had simply accepted their fate, Darnashta'i wished to excise the blight of humanity from Sapience, eventually turning to arcane rituals to summon a hideous [[demons|demon]] lord, the [[Wyrm of Worlds]], from the [[Netherworld]].

But the demon was not yet done fulfilling the task asked of him. He raised his hands and uttered a chant that ripped the forest from the earth and placed it in a large subterranean cavern. Naturally, this drew the attention of [[Gaia]], the Goddess of Nature. She appeared before him, but, ignorant of the powers Dieties wield, the Wyrm was not impressed and warned Her not to intervene. Angered, She bound him in a cocoon of energy and turned to Darnashta'i, who begged for forgiveness at Her feet. This She granted him. Sensing a slight weakening of the cocoon, the demon secreted into the Goddess' essence a seed of his own hatred, paranoia, and arrogance. Gaia, unaware of this, turned then to the demon and sentenced him to an eternity without physical form, save for a writhing wyrm statue of Her design. | But the demon was not yet done fulfilling the task asked of him.

She cursed Darnashta'i with immortality so that he might watch over the statue unto eternity. Meanwhile, the Wyrm's seed festered silently within the Goddess, taking effect many years later in the form of [[Gaia's betrayal]]. | ||
