Queen Myrm's Tale

  Once, the wyrms lived freely among the island we now call Puddleby. But then other beings showed up -- Humans, Thooms, Ghorak Zos, Halflings, The People, Dwarves, and Sylvans. The wyrms came up once and a while, but they found that the new races were hostile to their kind: they tried to kill the wyrms. So, more and more wyrms came up from the ground, and they plotted a invasion way back before v20. The wyrms failed horribly.

Quickly after that, the wyrms learned that is was not safe for them to roam the streets of Puddleby.They took cover and ran to a place north of their main square. They dug a very large Hive. There were very many twisting chambers and passageways, but the most important of all was the Queen's Chamber (QC). All of the kinds of wyrms were here. This idea worked for a while, when they had only wyrms in large groups leaving the hive go to look for food.

But these new races wanted to slaughter the wyrms and go after them. They usually had a few new exiles go into the Hive and kill the wyrms! So almost all of the wyrms hung around in the QC. But the exiles found the QC too. The Queen and the bigger wyrms could fight really well. If the wyrms outnumbered the exiles, usually the wyrms would kill all the exiles and they would be victorious.

But sometimes the wyrms would die, or even worse, the Queen would die! If she did, the wyrms would quickly elect a red Royal and make her orange body bright red and alarming. Most exiles run at the sight of the Queen because she is hard to hit and bites really hard.

Now the wyrms kill most everyone in the Queen Chamber. But if there is a really large or really powerful group of exiles, waiting to invade the Hive...
