Tal-Inara inspecting the Maw Walker's anima.

Opening the Maw begins the second chapter of the Chains of Domination campaign, "Maw Walkers".

Objectives

Have Tal-Inara examine your anima.

• Anima examined by Tal-Inara
• Speak to Tal-Inara in the Ring of Transference

Description

The Jailer has gained another sigil, and his forces actively assault Oribos.

Bolvar Fordragon and Draka of Maldraxxus suggest taking the fight to the Jailer.

To do so, we need a way for their forces to safely come and go from the Maw.

This was considered impossible before you arrived, but now I believe we have a chance.

I must examine your anima to see if this is truly what the Purpose wills.

Rewards

You will receive:

• 2 57 40

Progress

I do not do this lightly, Maw Walker.

Completion

I do not do this lightly, Maw Walker, but we have no choice.

We must open a gateway to the Maw.

Notes

Speak with Tal-Inara:

I never thought I would see such dire times.

I must examine your anima to determine whether it is strong enough to withstand the drastic will of the Purpose.

 I'm prepared for you to examine my anima.

Tal-Inara channels Anima Extrapolation into the Maw Walker.

 Anima Extrapolation — Stunned while Tal-Inara examines your anima. 45 sec duration.

Tal-Inara says: Fatescribe Roh-Tahl has sensed the emergence of a second waystone within the Maw, though he does not know its location.

Tal-Inara says: Your anima awakened the first waystone. It has allowed you to lead some of your allies to safety.

Tal-Inara says: I will create an anchor to your anima here in Oribos. Activating the second waystone should connect it to my anchor.

Tal-Inara says: I believe this bond will enable our covenant forces to leave the Maw, just as you can do.

PTR gossip

The subject of this section did not make it out of the PTR stages.

I never thought I would see such dire times in Oribos.

I must examine the strength of your anima to see if the Purpose wills me to do something... drastic.
