The Great Maw is the primary and sole deity of the religion of the Ogre races. Their relationship with this entity is not just one of devotion, but also one of fear, for the Great Maw was once responsible for the near-destruction of the entire Ogre race at an earlier point of time. From what Scholars could get from Ogre folktale and stories, the Great Maw was a deity recorded long before the rise of Men, in the land just north of present-day Cathay. From information gathered by Ogre witnesses during that time, the Great Maw is described as a gaping mouth of razor-sharp teeth, where an endless chasm lay at the very center of the pit where some say he has burrowed deep into the core of the earth, continously eating until it finally reached the other side of the world.
