Editing Friends and Foes (Abyssal Jaws) (section)

====Istvaanians====
View of the Abyssal Jaws: The Istvaanians in [SECTOR REDACTED] hold the Abyssal Jaws and the people of Maresia in high regard. For their society embodies the principle of "strength through trial" with its elevation of combativeness and willingness to root out weakness. The high caliber of the Abyssal Jaws and Sea-Guard is an often used example by Istvaanians that their methods hold true.

Long term goals on Maresia: The majority of the warmongers see Maresia as a glowing beacon of trials and tribulations, an inspiration as they work to bring cataclysms and ruination on other soft-bellied worlds of [SECTOR REDACTED]. However a splinter group of Istvaanians mainly from Ordo Malleus and Hereticus see that unleashing a great elder beast would indeed be a direly needed steel-bath for [SECTOR REDACTED].

Current activity on Maresia: The powerful Inquisitor Thargrym Odarsan spearheads an effort by "mainline" Istvaanians to ward the Abyssal Jaws from undue inquisitorial attentions. Assassinations and dire threats elsewhere are the primary tools of these shadowy guardians. The splinter group hunts the grimy deeps of Hive Vísceras for knowledge that will root ones soul. The fact that the infiltrat-clones sent to the Old One-cults return marred with mutations of eldritch pattern and horrid promise merely drives the conspirators on.
