"Don't look into the well, captain. The thing inside looks back."

"Mists spiral around the well's abysmal plunge. The movements induce intense nausea. A green-faced stoker rushes from your presence."

Well of the Wolf is a large sky-well located in the region of Albion, it's population consisting mostly of unusually disheveled Devils.

The Bandstand

The main point of interest around the Well is the congregation of rag-wearing, silent Devils who live in a system of hexagonal caves located at the rim of the Well. The Devils that come to the Well "retire" by allowing giant Chorister Bees to enter their chest cavities through their mouths.

The disheveled Devils regularly convene at a dilapidated bandstand, where they honor the entity trapped inside the Well by dancing Correspondance sigils and letting Chorister Bees use their exceptional singing skills.

Ur-Devil

The King of Carols, also known as The Many-Mouthed and The Choir-in-One, is a primeval Devil of great influence, who in a time long ago had protested against the rule of the Judgements by refusing to use his many beautiful singing voices. The Judgements in retaliation hung the King above the Well of the Wolf- to make an example to anyone trying to oppose them. During his punishment, as a final act of defiance, The King had decided to give away all but one of his melodic voices to his creations- The Chorister Bees. This defiance had resulted in The King being forever imprisoned inside the Well and to the eventual failed Devil rebellion against the Judgements, making The King of the biggest martyrs for their revolutionary cause.
