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!

To 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!

The Ring of Transference is the second level of Oribos

The same level as the flight master, which is technically the third level of Oribos

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.

Setting the Ground RulesThe Maw · Level 55-60
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.
