Listen Later

In the shadowed corners of ancient Germanic lands, where forests press close and rivers whisper old secrets, a creature of unimaginable size and silent malice waits. The wyrm—neither dragon nor serpent in the conventional sense—embodies an ancient terror. Patient, armored in iron-like scales, and drawn to gold and greed, the wyrm is both a guardian and a curse. It slumbers beneath the earth, a living symbol of the costs of ambition. Discover how this mythological beast isn’t just a monster, but a force that shapes destinies and drives men to madness. From Beowulf's final battle to Sigurd's ill-fated victory, the wyrm is always present, a silent force waiting to strike. Prepare to face the wyrm's venomous bite—where every victory carries a price.
