As the year passed, an ominous rumbling within the Gluttony's Maw insinuated at the changes within. No doubt, wonders and several projects were being conducted within its ramparts. Every now and then, a monstrous howl can be heard stemming from the fortress, reverberating outwards into the world with a faint ripple of energy. Whatever may have been constructed within the keep cannot be good, no doubt heralding a calamity in itself.

All the same, forces are gradually being rallied under Grand Guignol. And though their territory remain rather concentrated within the castle, it is clear that the fortifications are being improved on with greater focus rather than expanding outwards.

• An intense concentration of energies can be felt gathering within the Gluttony's Maw. Something is brewing within the Gluttony's Maw, with energies being absorbed and siphoned from the surrounding vicinity. This bears portents of ill tidings, as the clock ticks.
  
  
• A sacrifice is rumored to have been dedicated to the Gluttony's Maw, hastening the clock's ticks as indicated above.
  
  
• Announced in the previous sabbath was Lyseroth's focus on his projects, inclusive of one veiled in mystery. This bears credence in the castle's lord being otherwise unseen in numerous frontlines, no longer as prevalent in wars and battles as he once was.
  
  
• In spite of this, another sabbath is rumored to have been planned within the Gluttony's Maw anew, yet no clear date has been specified as of yet.
  
  
• As wars brew, the forces of Grand Guignol appear to rally under two prominent figures within the coven, Ustrea, the Champion of Mortyl, and Anubis, the Hound of Gluttony. They are stated to be the current faces of the group and serve to lead their forces in combat: both in war and otherwise.
  
  
• True to the previous rumor, it seems that the Grand Guignol and its allies are yet again gearing to continue their ascent up the Tower to take advantage of their positioning. Be that as it may, the rest of the world appear largely unimpeded in their entry to the Tower -- barring trips to Realm Six.
  
  
• Interested individuals are still invited to come and partake in the revelry should they wish. With the sabbaths, and even the castle itself, open to any visitors -- enemy or otherwise. Of course, hostility will be responded to in kind.
