The Many are pale humans that lost their memory and logic from the Wyrm's parasites.
Overview[]
The Many have lost their minds and reason. They appear to attack anyone they see other than themselves using their jaws and their long claws to slice and bite open flesh, and act as the Wyrm's minions.
Appearance[]
The Many are sometimes quadrupedal, with long, skinny arms. They have twisted yellowed nails and gray-white skin. They are mostly bald, and have wide pink eyes, with large pupils. They can be momentarily blinded by bright light, but they then continue to move forwards blindly, with their eyes shut.

Immortal Guardians[]
When Meilin travels through the tunnel, she chooses to drop down at the end and finds herself surrounded by the creatures, Conor then later with Takoda see them crawling through the tunnel and try to fight them off with Kovo. A large light stuns the Many and Xanthe saves them. Then later the Screamers go off and Ingailor, Takoda, Meilin, Conor, Xanthe and Kovo turn the dam cranks and wash thousands of the Many away in the ensuing flood as they attempt to cross into Phos Astos. Toward the end of the book the Many sneak in, setting off the Screamers but having no trap reset, break into Phos Astos and killing everyone in the city except Conor, Meilin, Takoda and Xanthe, leaving no more Sadreans left but Xanthe.

Trivia[]
- The Many have low intelligence and behave like ants or bees with the Wyrm being the queen.
- The Many are blinded by light. The Sadreans take advantage of this by using flares to ward them off.
- Some of the Many used to protect Erdas from the Wyrm as Sadreans but helped it when it escaped.
- Although we only saw Sadreans (that we know of) become the Many, it's possible people from aboveground could become as mindless as the Many if the Wyrm chose to make them go that level.
