Additionally, the covenants would really like some more freed souls to power their way of life once a week. The overall objective of the Maw is to gain Stygia and the reputation to use it with Ve'nari, but balanced against drawing the Eye of the Jailer.

The Maw is not a typical zone, and it has some unique mechanics to encourage players to drop by, gain some currencies by doing activities, and then leave.

Thanks to their intimate connection to Azeroth's world-soul, adventurers will be able to escape the Maw and further explore the Shadowlands, though some of their allies were left behind. As she has fed the Maw with new souls, both she and the Jailer have grown more powerful.

Sylvanas Windrunner has been working with the Jailer since her attempted suicide at Icecrown Citadel and has been perpetrating acts to bring about great amounts of death in the world of the living. As a result, the Maw grows larger and more powerful while other parts of the Shadowlands have become deprived of anima and have started withering.
