The Wyrm God of Drausk, sometimes referred to as The Ancient One, or simply Ui is legendary, alledged founder of the current Empire of Drausk. Ui is not known much outside of Drausk, and even within the empire they are seen as both holy savior and boogeyman.
Tales range wildly throughout the history of Drausk of Ui, the Great Wyrm Spirit coming to devour the enemies of Drausk with its wintery breath. How Ui killed the crops of those who attempted to turn on the Emperors of past by making it snow. How the Great Ui forced emperors to their knees.
Ui, the Great Dragon Spirit, is not merely a myth, but a legendary Greatwyrm spirit, one that is representative of seasons and change and has overseen Drausk since its earliest inceptions before the Kadian Empire

Personal history
Ui the Wyrm God is first recorded as a great spirit that arose sometime within the 200s as a fierce winter storm that coated much of Drausk in a three-year long winter which killed millions and led to unrest and barbarism until a great knight named Haerk. While the legend originally states that Haerk banished the great Wyrm, the name "Ui" appears in similar mythic stories only decades later.
In the 1100s, as Vademyd I raged across the great steppes of Drausk, conquering tribes and small states - It was claimed that Vademyd could speak to the native dragons of the Drausks due to a deal merged with the "Spirit Ui" after his banishment to the Far East. Even in later conflicts, the name Ui was chanted by soldiers as far as the Drausk Invasion of Adraus, where they cried "For the Emperor and his Wyrm!" against the Adrausii forces.
While Ui is seen in many Drausk festivals and seen as a creature connected to the empire, to outsiders - they see the Wyrm Ui as a mythic lord or beast - with many unsure if the creature is real. However, it is unknown to many, but the Royal Family has been protecting Ui in a top secret bunker/fortress. Ui allows the empire to exist and keeps the emperor and their family alive by helping squash rebellions.
