Another year has passed and the stillness of the Grand Guignol has shifted; the once-still Gluttony's Maw appears to be filled with signs of life and activity, no doubt bearing portents of action to come from the forces of Gluttony. More and more people can also be seen gathering within, no doubt a sign of the growing forces of darkness. Yet with their growth comes a certain level of uncertainty:

What comes next?

---

• Power can be felt accumulating at a rapid rate within the Gluttony's Maw. No doubt, this is a sign that things are approaching a certain climax, indicative of the regular tremors and ripples of power that can be felt from the Gluttony's Maw. Something terrible will happen if this is allowed to continue.
  
  
• In other news, scouts can see that the forces of Grand Guignol have embarked upon a trip into the Tower and have come out. Yet again, there are talks of continuing with the venture further and further up into the Tower -- to reach the coveted hundredth floors and even further.
  
  
• The previously silent and resting Lord of Sin appeared to have stirred yet again, rumored to soon be taking to the frontlines of battles and raids to come.
  
  
• The recent sabbath have declared that the Grand Guignol and its allies will be preparing for war soon, with nefarious intentions for their targets slated in mind. Yet for some odd twist of a reason, none of their hostilities have been pointed towards the Final Frontier just yet.
  
  
• Rumors of one that calls himself Lyseroth's Son appear to have started plaguing Meranthe as a whole. There is not much of a statement, if at all, from the Lord of Sin himself of the veracity of these claims. Could it be...?
  
  
• Despite the seeming preparations for war efforts, the Lord of Sin yet again invites foreign dignitaries and those with strong desires to his castle for a meeting if they'd so seek.
  
  
• Sounds of construction can additionally be heard stemming from the Gluttony's Maw, indicative of the gradual expansion that Grand Guignol now pushes towards. Sooner or later, the Isle of Aetius may very well be entirely occupied by their growing army.
