The ancestors of modern dragons (just as the Titans are the ancestors of the jazuu and dwarves), the wyrm once served Primordial Death, the destroyer and judge of all things. Created to break down flawed or unneeded creations, they were to be the judges of creation, choosing what would remain. To do this, they were given power over the elements via their spoken words and breath, a power later mages called True Sorcery.
Coming in all shapes and sizes and capable of changing their shapes, the wyrm were the masters of the skies. Nearly impossible to injure and ageless, they were much fewer in number than their post-Dawn War rivals, the Titans, and mostly acted individually. Unlike the Titans, they did not cultivate slaves among the lesser races. They accepted tribute, to be sure, in exchange for protection, but mostly ignored the lesser races as beneath contempt. During the wars, they often worked with (commanded is too strong a word) tribes of proteans and occasionally rebel aelvar and titan-kin (the last only really right near the end of the 3rd war).
They fought 3 wars against the Titans, the three Titan-Wyrm Wars. The first they won handily, the second was a stalemate, and the third ended in destruction for both sides after the Orb of All Might diminished both their powers and shattered.
After the Last Titan-Wyrm War and the First Wish, surviving titans and wyrm (now diminishing into giants and dragons) put aside their differences and used the Eyes of Qa'desh to separate Oelfra from Noefra.
No wyrm remain at their full original power. The closest is probably Alastor, World Judge, ruler of the Plane of Lava.
