'''Wormwood Creek''' is a town in [[Dragon Quest IX]]. It is a location of key importance in the plot relating to [[Serena (IX)|Serena]] and [[Corvus]]. Unless the [[Hero (Dragon Quest IX)|hero]] arrive here along the storyline, all stores here (except the inn) will not serve any outsiders, including the [[Hero (Dragon Quest IX)|hero]]. This is probably a protection setting to prevent the player obtaining better equipment too early, since the town is reachable from [[Porth Llaffan]] after the [[ship]] is acquired. 

==History==
*This place used to be called '''Wyrmward Creek'''. The natives were supposed to be wardens of a great hero. But over the years, the people forgot their purpose and the village name got changed. The great hero was named Greygnarl, who rode a mighty dragon into combat against an  evil dragon in the fiercest of battles. The Hero of the Heavens, as he was also known, lived with his followers atop the [[Magmaroo]], a volcano to the west of the village. 
*A saying in the town says "''When he who seeks the way to Upover appears, open the gates of Wormwood with the light guarded by the sentry statue. ''" is a hint about how one should get pass the [[Wormwood Canyon]].
*The stone tablets in the east wing if church says, "''This stone stands in place of the abomination that brought disaster on our village. Trust outsiders at your peril. Fellowship starts and ends at home. ''"

==Places of Interest==
*Hope Springs (Northeast of the region)

==Trivia==
*The town was name "Wyrmward Creek", which are similar to the names of the nearby regions "[[Wyrmneck]]", "[[Wyrmwing]]", "[[Wyrmsmaw]]" and "[[Wyrmtail]]". 
*[[Wikipedia:Wormwood (star)|Wormwood]] is a term used in the bible to describe a star which falls to earth and poisons the water supply.  This description parallels the effect [[Corvus]] has on the town as a [[Celestrian]].
