Preparations for a large ritual appear to have been made within Sheol, causing the capital of the Grand Guignol to seemingly be abuzz with countless activity. Numerous cults and covens scattered appeared to have started rallying under Gluttony's banner in preparation for this ritual just as well, and with the renewed bond between Sheol and Skarnfel due to the instatement of Xarxes as the latter's new leadership, it appears that things were looking solidified on the frontlines yet again.

• The gathering of power within Jormungandr's Stomach appeared to have reached its zenith, no doubt associated with the ritual to come. Whatever it may entail or whatever may come after it has yet to be seen, but with the lowered defenses on the day of, it may very well be easier than expected to catch a glimpse or attempt to thwart the forces of Sheol during the aforementioned ceremonies.
  
  
• The Primordial within Gluttony's Maw appears to have been busy as of late, no doubt tied to the ritual to come. The chain of command appears to have been changed as well, with Masika being named as the successor to Sheol and Aubrey Caewynn being named as the successor to the coven as the next Supreme.
  
  
• True to his usual handling of matters, Lyseroth appears to have taken an otherwise hands-off approach to the rest of his people, allowing them to do their preparations as they please. Some speak of how they were all being given the reins to do as they please, perhaps indicative of Gluttony's Maw's impending changes.
  
  
• A sabbath has been announced yet again. This time to be lead by the next Supreme in line, Aubrey Caewynn. It appears to have been set before the aforementioned large ceremony to come, no doubt as a means of also proliferating information. Spies and allies alike are advised to prepare to infiltrate and visit respectively during the day of.
  
  
• The Grand Guignol appears to have a new princess crowned within it, said to be Lyseroth's final fairytale and story as the Playwright. A callback to who he was and who he used to be before the changes to his nature, to that of Gluttony and eventually that of a Primordial. Rumors have it that he very well may be a doting father to the aforementioned princess...
