The Rift

The Rift is the a mysterious split in the land in the north west of Abbadon, it was discovered when the forces of Hovelbru, Faerun and the Crusaders charged The Maw to respond to the growing threat of the Balor who has managed to find his way to the mortal plane.

The Mist
The Rift starts early in The Maw, but continues for days far into the land. Somewhere in the middle of The Rift a spout of purple fuming smoke pours into the clouds, first emerging as white as steam, darkening into a poisonous purple, and finally rests in the sky as a light blue. The source of the mysterious mist is unknown, some say it's an engine of war carving the Rift attempting to split the world, some say it's a beast of war spreading poison across the world, but no one knows for sure and no one dares to find out.

The Balor's Army
The Maw servers as the Balor's stronghold in the mortal plane, but The Rift is where he commands from, three years ago demons marched across Abbadon looting towns and attacking cities, but ever since the Crusade nothing has been heard of the demon army, and the Mist has significantly decreased in activity. Is it a sign that the Crusade was a success, or is the Balor biding for time and recovering from the wound the crusaders of Iomadae dealed?
