According to Solam's speculation, the orb of Greed that Malcanthet mentioned was likely that sphere condensed from an entire plane. If nothing unexpected had happened, it should have been inside Greed's body.
But Greed should have been in Worm Forest within Gaping Maw. How had it ended up with Kostchtchie, the Lord of Wrath?

"No! You've misunderstood one thing. I never intended to make you face Greed." Malcanthet shook her head at Solam. "If the Pearl of Greed were truly still inside Greed's body, I wouldn't set my sights on it either."
