Elrem

Elrem the Wise was the powerful shaman of the Great Worm Tribe of Uthgardt barbarians and resided permenatly at the Great Worm ancestor mound. Once human, Elrem had acquired the shape of a great Worm through some magical means.

Either through pious devotion or the prays of his followers Elrem had become an embodiment of the deity. As the only great Worm in existence this would seem to be a validation for this transformation. The Uthgardt however have an other story. In their legends he was a son of Uthgar gifted with the beast totem by his father.

Much of the time Elrem rested, sleeping on his hoard, which has grown to staggering proportions over the years. While in this dormant state he often travelled astrally through the Realms. He roused himself for the runemeet and leads the tribes celebrations, and to prophesied the future. Through his leadership the tribe had chosen evil creatures as their spiritual enemies.

He had been described as a gigantic bat winged snake with the head of a red dragon.
