Gluttony's Maw

[Shelpies]

---

"Through me you pass into the city of woe:
Through me you pass into eternal pain:
Through me among the people lost for aye.
Justice the founder of my fabric moved:
To rear me was the task of power divine,
Supremest wisdom, and primeval love.
Before me things create were none, save things
Eternal, and eternal I shall endure.
All hope abandon, ye who enter here."

A fortress has been erected within the Isle of Aetius, serving simultaneously as the stronghold for the forces of Gluttony. Yet oddly enough, not a single soul appeared to dwell within it -- not a single life, not a single existence beyond Gluttony himself. The Gluttony's Maw parted, devouring and consuming those within it with the sole existence of the Sin himself. The surrounding world, the surrounding mana, even the flora and the fauna present within appeared to be gradually consumed by the endless voracity of the man. 'twas a statement and a keep both, that none even his allies were safe from his hunger within the walls.

Though be that as it may, it serves as a great frontline and a great target for those who may be seeking to bring down the hammer onto the Avatar of Sin. Or perhaps an invitation to those who, just like he, was entrenched deep within their sins: to come and join him in his endless, gluttonous revelry.

Despite its location, the Gluttony's Maw appeared to avoid inhibiting those seeking to enter the Tower of Aetius: be it to climb it or seek their own journeys in the publicly accessible realms. Only when it concerns Realm 6, or concerns the Gluttony's Maw does it stir.

But with the fortifications fully built, the official call to arms against the Echo of Amier and his Realm 7 resonates anew -- this time with greater certainty.
