2058 AC

The Grand Guignol's main stronghold has been established in the Isle of Aetius, an aptly named fortress called the Gluttony's Maw. The fortress appears to be consuming the immediate world around it, supping from the mana and the living presence within and without the stronghold itself. No doubt, it is a foreboding herald to the worst to come as Gluttony's influence continues to deepen and consume the world as a whole. This is surely a sign that the fortress' continued existence will pose as a threat in the foreseeable future.

Furthermore, the fortress appears to be the main foothold that the Grand Guignol possesses to levy their attack upon the Realm Seven, something that has garnered the attention of many a warrior that seeks to protect the Echo of Amier.

• Word speaks of how Gluttony and his people appear to be climbing the Tower of Aetius with purpose, taking advantage of their current location to continuously head out on expeditions for it.
  
  
• Scouts and passers-by will easily indicate just how lifeless and silent the Gluttony's Maw appears to be. Those allied, and even those who are not, with the Grand Guignol will be able to tell that it is only the Lord of Sin that exists and dwells within. No doubt attributed to the Gluttony's Maw's consumption of all life.
  
  
• Interestingly, sabbaths lead by Grand Guignol appear to be exclusively held within Gluttony's Maw now, no doubt to take advantage of the fortress' peculiar trait in consumption.
  
  
• Allies and otherwise are invited to visit the Gluttony's Maw, it'd seem that the Lord of Sin would entertain visitors and questions to quell his boredom. Though they are heavily advised not to engage in combat should they do so. Additionally, it is advised to take a two day break from visits after heading to the fortress, if only to give the body plenty of time to recover.
  
  
• Those who have seen the Gluttony's Maw can tell that the throne room bears semblance to the Sea of Swords in Realm Six, no doubt a homage paid to the Lord of Sin's father. Peculiarly, a perfect replica of Jokul's swords can be seen directly next to the throne.
