Lore
This horrific prison houses the most vile and irredeemable souls inexistence—ones deemed by the Arbiter to represent a threat to the Shadowlands ifleft free. Ruled by the enigmatic Jailer who none have ever seen—at least nonehave seen and lived to tell—the Maw inspires nightmares and legends even amongthe denizens of the Shadowlands. No one has ever escaped this vile place, and anyfoolish enough to venture there are never heard from again.
