Maw storyline

The Maw storyline is one of the two max-level parts of the Shadowlands campaign, and plays out in parallel to the Covenant campaign.

Players' first foray into the Shadowlands has them crash-land in the Maw during the Shadowlands intro experience.

Late in the Maldraxxus storyline, the Maw Walker is tasked to return to the Maw to retrieve a Baron of Maldraxxus.

Near the end of the Revendreth storyline, players are asked to return to the Maw again to retrieve Prince Renathal, which ends up sending players into Torghast for the first time.

At max level, midway through the first chapter of their covenant campaign, players are sent to the Maw to recover souls to power their covenant sanctum. While working on Ve'nari's tasks, adventurers see Baine get captured and sent to Torghast!

After completing the first chapter of the covenant campaign, Bolvar Fordrgaon asks players to return to Torghast to save Baine. In the process, they will recover a key that leads to the Runecarver, crafter of artifacts (and legendaries).

After the Maw Walker explores Torghast for the first time, Ve'nari adds more rules to her list, unlocking more of the Maw:

After defeating Sire Denathrius in Castle Nathria (for Redemption for the Redeemer) and seeing Bolvar's vision of Anduin in The Captive King, Bolvar reaches out to the Maw Walker, alarmed, and starts the final Patch 9.0 chapter of the Maw storyline.
