Pale Maw walks his glacier like a gigantic, dead wolf.

Overview

Pale Maw (Commontongue), also Sarvagal (Furytongue \ˈsɑrvʌgal\ for hunting cold), also known as The Blood Binder, The Bleeding Glacier, and Blizzard Bone, gets its name from some of its dominant qualities, hunger and ice. Lore about Pale Maw is rare and incomplete. The only direct knowledge of it belongs to other Titans, all of whom would consider it an enemy. Some Dragons and Immortals know of it mostly by legend and reputation.

History

During the Lost Age, Pale Maw participated in the Contest Eternal like all other Titans. During the Foundation War of the First Age, it was captured by the Founders like all of the other Titans. After The Fall of the Dark Age, a large amount of Pale Maw's power and consciousness was freed after one of its Astral Prisons was badly damaged, creating Frostmarrow Fields in The Astral Sky.
