the Maw

The devour-faction led by Rukh, now a reconciled part of the Bound nation.

Originally known as a devour-faction driven by the primal belief in moving and eating, The Maw was a distinct political entity under the leadership of Rukh. In Book 5, this group underwent a significant transformation when it was absorbed into the Bound. Rather than being destroyed or suppressed, The Maw was reconciled to become a true and integral part of the nation.
