Cavernous Maw

''What lies beyond these mysterious portals of grotesque design, and why have they suddely manifested across Vana'diel? Perhaps the answer lies in rumors which state similar gates were also witnessed during the Crystal War, two decades past.''

Mysterious portals known as Cavernous Maws are found in various locations around present-day Vana'diel. These portals can be used as gateways between the present and the past (Shadowreign Realm). There is no cost to use the maws.
 * In order to use a present-day Cavernous Maw, you must use the same one in the past, similar to gaining access to Runic Portals.

Using Cavernous Maws

 * Upon checking a maw for the first time in Batallia Downs, Sauromugue Champaign, or Rolanberry Fields, you will trigger the first mission for Wings of the Goddess. You will obtain a Pure White Feather key item, which is your "pass" through the maws.
 * You can "unlock" other maws in different present-time areas by using them in the corresponding past-time area.
 * When you first enter a maw, you will be transported randomly to a maw in Batallia Downs (S), Sauromugue Champaign (S), or Rolanberry Fields (S). It is possible to use a maw in one zone and arrive in another.
 * When you zone into the past, the only maw you will be able to use from the current timeline will be the one from which you exited in the past.
