In Ruin, Wrought

As the Maw continues to ravage Marrowmont, for Hulngal, Igibala, Eresh, and Anat, the work of finding survivors and helping coordinate the resistance goes on. While the city rallies its defenders, seeking for a way to kill the beast or force it back into its prison, so, too, continues the hunt for the traitor who released the beast from its cage. But that traitor's work is not yet finished. They also seek a way to kill the Maw. Not to save the city, but to finally, through its death, gain the prize they've been chasing for millennia.
