'''The Sealed Crypt of the Last Worm God''' is a sealed site beneath Snakepass, raised where ancient legionnaires, Aenism priests, and serpentkin died in the same battle. {{Src|heralds-a#39}}

== Overview ==
Despite its name, the Crypt is not a tomb: it is a digestive seal holding a Worm God that reality itself has only half-digested. {{Src|heralds-a#40}}
The structure is a rib-like cage grown up out of the earth and wreathed in a pale green mist; the mist does not simply rot flesh, it dissolves identity first and the body second, which is why magic cast nearby comes apart. {{Src|heralds-a#40}}

== The servant worm ==
A massive worm moves through the tunnels beneath the Crypt; it is not hostile and it is not fleeing anything, but keeps the crypt's own passages open, the way a body reopens a blood vessel. {{Src|heralds-a#39|heralds-a#40}}
When it passes, the tunnel contracts and loosens like a throat, torches dim, and sound is swallowed. {{Src|heralds-a#40}}

== History ==
The cavern beneath the Crypt is a forgotten battlefield: Imperial legionnaires, Aenism clerics, and serpentkin were all destroyed here in the same engagement, the final assault against the third of the Worm Gods, fought long after the other two had already been slain. {{Src|heralds-a#39}}
