Looking at lore, it appears this king will rule over the barbs who worship him (at the cost of their daily labours). Now a barb-king in the new world would be cool. Not an AI, but not with limitless powers either.
Of course, if we want the alternate interpretation of seers as suggested above, worms derives from wyrms, an ancient form of dragons associated to the world tree of what I believe are Viking origins. Since playmesh loves when we bring up dragons in association to this game, it could be said that this vision of the vision allows for multidimensional play with chasms, and sky-like pillars where red, fiery death meets your army and you test your metal so-to-speak. Perhaps the scholar bears an egg?
All I can say is keep dreaming Aurora!
I said the same thing. About the dragons. It was in vision 2 or 3.
