A RESEARCH AND OBSERVATION-BASED ESSAY OF THE WORMS DISCOVERED IN HAENSE.

Issued by Dima Kovachev

ㅤAs ward of the Grand Lady who also seconds as the Crow Warden, I figured it best to touch upon my crow lady’s roots. While I am not keen on the blackened feathers that represent our kingdom, mainly due to my fear, that did not push me away from the notation of the animals that best serve us. And so, instead of writing about crows, I present to you everything I know about worms and their significance to our land.

 

ㅤThe following information is all the research and observations of worms I have managed to find.

❖ㅤTHE REDHEAD WORM.ㅤ〣ㅤVE ROTLOVACZ KVESZIEM.

ㅤA worm known for its reddish-purple hue upon its front end. They are commonly found in the uppermost layers of the ground and within piles of leaves. These creatures are medium in size compared to their counterparts and can range between 10 to 12 centimeters. Not to be confused with Common Earthworms, these worms distinctively flatten their tail ends out to make a paddle shape.

ㅤNATIVE TO: The Karoswood and Gates of Muldav.^[1] 

ㅤPRONE TO: A saprophagous diet, meaning they are common consumers of highly decomposing masses. These worms are epigeic in nature, meaning they do not burrow.

❖ㅤTHE COMMON EARTHWORM.ㅤ〣ㅤVE COMMON SINDHOR-KVESZIEM.

ㅤA worm that is invasive upon Aevos, originally native to Failor. It was transported to the continent in hopes of being fish bait during travels. They feed upon leaves and top layers of the soil. The Common Earthworm is the picture definition of a worm, known for its red-brown hues that go from light to dark and sizes around 7 to 8 centimeters. Most can find them during wet weather.

ㅤNATIVE TO: The Karoswood, Verelund,^[1] and Haeseni fields. 

ㅤPRONE TO: A detritivore diet, meaning they consume the environment around them and occasionally decomposing masses. These worms are endogenic in nature, meaning they burrow within the earth.

❖ㅤTHE WALDENIC NIGHTCRAWLER.ㅤ〣ㅤVE WALDENIC NUCHTTRIEK.

ㅤThis worm is specifically known for its compost production, but due to its native environment, is more so used for fishing. They’re found in moist or damp regions, mostly along river banks or streams. They were brought from Westerwald to their now other native homes and are excellent for farmers. Fear not their unusual size of 35 centimeters.

ㅤNATIVE TO: Westerwald, The Vander Falls, and Gates of Muldav.^[1] 

ㅤPRONE TO: A saprophagous diet, meaning they are common consumers of highly decomposing masses. These worms are epigeic in nature, meaning they do not burrow.

❖ㅤTHE BRANDLING WORM.ㅤ〣ㅤVE JERESK KVESZIEM.

ㅤAn nervous species of worm, rarely seen beneath the soils of whatever land they dwell upon. Seeing as they feast primarily upon vegetation, manure, and compost, their home is upon the Haeseni fields. Take great care in their handling as they are coated in clingy bristles and secrete a foul-smelling liquid to ward off predators. Though, they are easy to miss with their smaller size of 3 to 7.5 centimeters.

ㅤNATIVE TO: The Haeseni fields. 

ㅤPRONE TO: A saprophagous diet, meaning they are common consumers of highly decomposing masses. These worms are anecic in nature, meaning they rely on the surface.

❖ㅤTHE GREY WORM.ㅤ〣ㅤVE GRAIS KVESZIEM.

ㅤWorms that don’t know how to be worms. This specific species struggles to make its burrows beneath the top layers of the soil. Their distinctive grey hue is only on one segment of their body, the other two segments being pink and brown. They range between 5 to 7.5 centimeters.

ㅤNATIVE TO: The Verelund.^[1] 

ㅤPRONE TO: A detritivore diet, meaning they consume the environment around them and occasionally decomposing masses. These worms are endogeic in nature, meaning they burrow within the earth.

❖ㅤTHE COMPOSTING WORM.ㅤ〣ㅤVE OZINKVESJA KVESZIEM.

ㅤOriginally residing within the higher mountains, these worms are used by farmers specifically for composting. They shed often and quickly, their castings are beneficial for the decomposition of compost. They thrive in moist conditions and easily adjust to the colder seasons. These worms are approximately 3 to 10 centimeters long.

ㅤNATIVE TO: The Kareninas^[1] and Haeseni fields. 

ㅤPRONE TO: A saprophagous diet, meaning they are common consumers of highly decomposing masses. These worms are epigeic in nature, meaning they do not burrow.

❖ㅤTHE FLESH WORMS.ㅤ〣ㅤKOENG I VE KVESJA.

ㅤFlesh Worms are creatures of varying sizes, starting around that of an average human to the giants of mountains and glaciers. They are painted as enemies to mankind, due to the assumption they were children of Garundorech. Such creatures are presumed to reside within the realm of Rechur, the Underneath, though it is said they might roam others.^[1]

A prime example of this myth possibly being reality would be the existence, or at least the rumors, of Karl Foe. Giant worms, perhaps unrelated to Flesh Worms were the cause of Athera’s destruction, but also maybe the Gaping Gates of Muldav and therefore may reside within the land of Aevos.^[2]

A fellow ward of the Grand Lady, one Nadya Weiss, mumbles to the blonde girl at her flank, "You should write one about spoons next!"

[prophetisms 982]

The Grand Lady sat within her office as she went over the recent missives of Haense. In her grasp was the very well-written essay on worms. She beamed with pride, even though the young Kovachev had tracked mud in and left an awful lot of dirt jars by the door.

[shay 2582]

"Flesh worms aren't myth, they're very real. In fact, I saw one last week. The wolves were riding it about our farmland terrorizing our poor poor peasants. Not a myth at all" recounted a certain young Amador to any who dare come within earshot of the chatty girl.

WORMS!

A wandering knight deep within the fiery ashlands obtains a copy of the paper on worms, he stashes it away in his satchel mumbling on, "worms.. worms.. so many worms."

[Chimeraof1999 1187]

Amou, the homunculi, loves all creatures big or small. After finding this missive, he would hang it up on his wall with a massive grin; "Worm."

[Frostdrop1 1843]

Reinhard, seating himself alone on a log, found himself reading the essay - readjng as he did with many things. At the topic, the feather on his cheeks puffed up wver so subtly and a small smile traced his gloomy features. "Still koenas of the worms."
