  • The Maw is one of the realms of the Shadowlands. This horrific place houses the most vile and irredeemable souls in existence. Ruled by the enigmatic Jailer, the Maw inspires nightmares and legends even among the denizens of the Shadowlands. No one has ever escaped this vile place, and any foolish enough to venture here are never heard from again. At its center lies Torghast, a cursed otherworldly prison where the most wicked souls in the universe are locked away.
    Around the time of the Burning Legion's third invasion of Azeroth, the machine of death was broken, causing all souls who enter the Shadowlands to pour directly into the Maw. 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.
    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 she has fed the Maw with new souls, both she and the Jailer have grown more powerful.
    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 will be left behind.
    The Maw is a max-level zone designed for exploration and open-ended play, without settlements or inns to let players catch their breath.

    thank you Meisio. I cant imagine how much effort and how difficult it must has been to make this video. I dont think anyone else will bother to do an ambient video of the Maw.
    I find the Maw fascinating. It's like Mordor on steroids. There's a tabletop game called Wraith: The Oblivion, about damned souls stuck in a godless afterlife also called the shadowlands, and i swear, the Maw is exactly how i envisioned Wraith to look like, so im very happy to finally have a visual idea of that.
    Again, thank you very much for your effort, and on the launch day, no less!

      Thank you, this video was like every other video with one exception: filming of the Beastwarrens. That's a zone in which you die after staying 1 minute (that's if you manage to escape the mobs in it). I've died like 20-30 times there in 2 days (for 15 minutes of footage). We will be able to advance thorough the story and manage to survive in the Beastwarrens, but I did it without 'help', with the help of my feral druid. :)

      In the end, for an expansion about Death, they really kind of made it a joyful/playful type of place. Wrath of the Lich King and Northrend really put this expansion to shame in terms creating a type of horror experience within World of Warcraft. The Maw itself was alright though, I think the rest of the expansion should have been more like that. Even at the cost of being repetitive and monotone. I get why they wanted to diversify the landscapes and themes with bastion and ardenwield and everything, but it just didn't fit with the idea of the realm of death itself.
      The whole expansion should have been more foreboding, eerie, and horrowing.

    I hate this place because it's just another farming place you're basically forced to go in and with the jailer's eye you can't even do everything in one day...so I haven't taken the time to focus on the music. But gosh, this is incredible, as always. I may prefer this one than Revendreth, my favorite zone so far. Hmm.

    but are there like playlist of the characters journeys? I've tried following the Tauren shamans journey from mulgore lvling videos. Found some older tauren shaman Un'goro/tanaris/ashenvale stuff . I know they are not the same shaman but i just pretend they are and watch them in leveling order.
    I'm not demanding you need to do stuff ofc you do what you like. Just thought do you level the characters more than just one zone? would love followng characters growing progress. Tauren shaman and Night elf hunter are my favorite ones that i watch in leveling order atm :).
    Great vids and amazing content! and sorry again. do not mean to come off as demanding just curious.
