TheWoWDBTo get to the Maw, jump into the middle of the ring of transference. Don't jump off the outside ledge like me. Just because you can see the maw from there doesn't mean that's where you'll end up!

Description
Rumor has it that you've been to the Maw and back... and that you even made friends with a broker in there! So many souls destined for Ardenweald are trapped in that dark realm. They need our help... and we need theirs! We can't cultivate the Heart of the Forest's magic without them. I know this is a lot to ask... but you may be our only hope of rescuing them. Please, venture into the Maw and do what we cannot. Ardenweald's future depends on it!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Recover the Lost
Anima and souls. Wind and rain. Ardenweald needs both to thrive. Souls meant for our boughs suffer in darkness. None escape the Maw... but you walk its shadows and return. You are their salvation. Flutterby shepherds the flock with care and compassion. Speak with her. Bring our lost souls home.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Setting the Ground Rules
Back to rescue more souls? How intrepid. Though I must say, your earlier escapade has drawn the Jailer's attention... and his ire. After all, none have successfully eluded him before. Except for me.
