User:CCRyder95/Maw of Balor

The Maw of Balor is a 5 player dungeon for The Waking Dream, located in Vorlassar Sierra. It takes place entirely within the cavernous insides of the summit giant, Balor, who was awakened during your journey through Vorlassar to engage with the forces of the Emerald Nightmare. After battling the equally-colossal skinless one, Naziir, Walker of Worms, the giant has been rendered comatose as the Nightmare hollows out its heart from within.

Background
Due to the efforts of the Emerald Vanguard, the enormous Summit Giant, Balor, was roused from his sleep to enact judgement on the forces of Nightmare that pervaded Vorlassar Sierra. Yet, in doing battle with Naziir, the Walker of Worms, the Living Mountain has fallen. The Skinless One cheated, splitting itself into a tide of coiling beasts that burrowed through the giant's chest, sapping it's strength. Now, Balor lays slumped across the sierra, comatose, as the worms wind their way through his cavernous body, spreading Nightmare corruption in their wake. Naziir has entwined his heart in living tangles of madness, flooding both his thoughts and the hollows of his body with N'Zoth's deafening whispers. Should he succumb, the foundation of the Dream will split underneath the rage and sorrow of it's once proudest defender.

Players will enter through Balor's mouth and battle through the giant's cavernous insides to root out the infection within. Standing against them are not only the forces of Nightmare that have grown like pustulant abscesses but Balor's very own elemental immune system, driven mad by the chaos of the Naziir's assault.
