So I recently got really bored and decided to finally read all the calcified fragments, and in just the fifth one, I found some cool info.
Now, to be fair, I haven't been on the forums in quite a while so I'm not sure if anyone has already found this and I missed it, but here goes. In card V, Needle and Worm, there is an allusion at the very end to the gear made of the Ahamkara themselves. Pieces like the Skull of Dire Ahamkara, Sealed Ahamkara Grasps, and so on.
In the descriptions of all of these armor pieces, the phrase, "oh *blank* mine" is frequently used, as you've probably noticed. In the card, although I'm not sure who's perspective it's from, the author says [quote]It was my father's familiar. I ripped it from him as we fled. It is a dead white thing, segmented, washed up from the deep sea. It's dead, but it still speaks to me. It says: listen closely, oh vengeance mine...[/quote]
As far as I see it, this is a ridiculously obvious reference, and shows without a doubt that the Ahamkara and worms are the same thing. Please let me know what you think guys!

The Worms are most likely Ahamkara, but Ahamkara are not necessarily the Worms. The Worms are most likely just a handful of particularly powerful Ahamkara that champion the Darkness and its goals that same way the Traveler champions the Light and its goals.
