Connects to: the World’s Edge and Beyond.
Overview
The Maw is a great canyon that extends from the World’s Edge deep into the Grey Mountains. Here the tropical heat of the lands beyond the World’s Edge meets the snowcapped cold of the Grey Mountains, which results in great and unpredictable winds.
Occasionally unwary travelers are yanked into the Maw by these winds, almost as if it hungered for human flesh. And indeed the Maw’s howling winds often sound like the famished moans of a great beast.
The dwarves of these mountains stay well away from the Maw, seldom venturing close enough to peer in, especially since an entire dwarven caravan was frozen solid by a sudden temperature drop after venturing too close to the edge of the Maw. However, some say that there are strange buildings to be seen at the bottom of the Maw fashioned out of great cyclopean blocks, with a wild river rumbling among them.

- What’s at the bottom of the Maw?
- Is it just a coincidence that the winds that howl through the Maw sound much like hungry moans?
