8.17.4.1 THE SWARM
The Swarm has always existed. Hunger dwells in the heart of the Wyrd, and because of this, its agents have always been. Anyone who has served the Glomdoring has preserved the intent of this guild, and now, it has a voice of its own. The Swarm does not devour mindlessly, like the insatiable appetites of the Soulless Ones, but instead, it carefully selects its targets with a cunningness of the most feral of predators. When others merely accept change for what it is, the Swarm is a progenitor of this evolutionary force, consuming one weakness to create strength in the intervening absence. With the throes of careful manipulation or the ferocious might of an army, the conquering power of this guild's goals involve uniting the external with the internal, always bringing new facets of the Basin of Life under the control of the Glomdoring. While the Auguries provide new intel and the Thornwatch enables safe travel to new landscapes, the Swarm dismantles the world around it in order for the seeds of the wyrd to take root. Warriors, politicians, instigators, and all manner of artisans find their footing here, so long as they recognise one overarching principle: the Swarm of the Glomdoring is unstoppable, and it will only be sated when every nuance of Creation has been consumed by the boundless progress of the Wyrd.
