: I was speaking with a friend recently about Myth, and
: mentioned Nyx, and he asked what role exactly Nyx
: played in relation to Wyrd. Specifically, he said
: "Nyx = Wyrm?" I asked what he was talking
: about, and he elaborated...
: Apparently in whatever mythology the name
: "Wyrd" is taken from, there are three prime
: gods - Wyrd ("weird"), Wyld
: ("wild"), and Wyrm ("worm"). Wyrd
: is the Creator, as he in in Myth. Wyrm is the
: Destroyer - more closely related to the Leveller in
: Myth. Wyld, as her name suggests (and again, we have a
: female god here), is not the preserver like the
: Buddhist trinity, but is a random element, either
: progression or regression, marking only that time is
: passing on and things are continuing and stuff is
: happening (basically, she is the wild, just whatever
: happens in nature).
Are you sure those names are legit? The only time I've heard Wyld and Wyrm spelled both with y's and being creator/destroyers is in White Wolf's "Werewolf the Apocalypse." Although Wyrd is called the Weaver in that and represents order and stasis.
