In the World of Greyhawk campaign setting for the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, the Age of Worms is an age of darkness and despair heard of only in ancient prophecies.
The herald of the Age of Worms is said to be the undead deity Kyuss, who is somehow involved with the Ebon Triad.
The Age of Worms Adventure Path
The Age of Worms can also refer to Dungeon magazine's Age of Worms Adventure Path, a campaign designed to take player characters from 1st-20th level over the course of twelve issues (Dungeon #124-135). Though the adventure path is best suited to be played in the World of Greyhawk, it can be adapted to any campaign world.
The Age of Worms adventure path was the next in succession after the Shackled City adventure path. It will be followed by a third Adventure Path called Savage Tide.
