I don't know if there is an actual definition of the Wyld. But there might be something in the novels that I believe the devs are currently working on.

If I were to wager a guess though, I'd say it is sacred as it stems from something like "Gaia" or "The Force". You could call it the life force of the planet. I'd also argue there's a guiding entity behind that force, as if the planet itself is alive. And if "Gaia" wills it, the creatures that inhabit the planet can make use of her power, her mana.

Moreover, where the Wyld would represent life, the Rot would represent its polar opposite. Like a perversion of life, corrupt and deadly.

Just my guess tho, don't hold me to it. Please correct me if I'm wrong ^^

It seems to be inspired by the Wyld from the World of Darkness tabletop RPG, where the Wyld is a natural force of creation, growth, change and healing. It's not quite a god, not quite a law of nature
it is opposed and balanced by the Wyrm, a force of death, corruption, and ending (analogous to the Rot), and the Weaver, a force of order, stability and patterning (which has no analogue in Armello).

The Wyld is essentially the Force, only with a more heavy bend toward nature.

I get the feeling (from playing the game and books i've read) that Wyld is the developers take on magical energy that permiates all things (kinda like Tao) but also brings to mind the Nordic concept of Wyrd (Ward) in which refers to a concept similar to the english word of Fate (which has it's origins in Latin). The idea of Wyrd in runes is to establish that one's fate is in the hands of nature or the gods (all magical) and thus to be Wyrd is to also be magical. Thus I think Wyld is a similar concept to Wyrd.
