The Great and Wobbly Maw

The Great and Wobbly Maw is a massive hole-shaped entity that is the single-largest organism in Poorthwart. It takes up the upper northwest corner of the land, separating the Carnival Weep from the Cloudlands. It is believed by planters that it protects plants from Carnival Weep, and they all make a pilgrimage to it once in their life to throw in a single lily as tribute. The Maw requires this tribute because it is unable to grow foliage in its area; the transit cycle of the Sun is such that it does not come near the Maw, which like the Sea of Ships, experiences only night and dusk.

While he is unable to control the Wobbles, he is able to withstand their power and thus live in their most concentrated area.
