The Deep Ground
A subterranean realm housing the Fell-Wyrm, guardian of ancient land magic.
Hidden beneath the surface lies The Deep Ground, a mysterious subterranean realm untouched by the daily struggles of farm life. This sacred space serves as the eternal dwelling of the Fell-Wyrm, also known as the Deep Grandmother, an entity distinct from other beasts in the series for its refusal to reside on the farms above.
Unlike the wandering creatures caught up in surface conflicts, the Fell-Wyrm remains settled deep within the earth, acting as a steadfast guardian of the land. Its presence embodies the ancient, settled magic of the world, offering a profound counterpoint to the chaotic and violent events of the Cull that ravage the surface.
