Dark Hollow

A small forest dwelling. It's dark and damp and secretly run by hags.

Welcome to Dark Hollow, a small forest dwelling shrouded in darkness and mystery. Rumors abound of its secret rulers, the hags who hold sway over the village.

Geography

Surrounded by dense, ancient forests, Dark Hollow is a secluded and foreboding place. The trees loom overhead like silent sentinels, their twisted branches reaching out like grasping fingers. The village is built around a central pond, its waters murky and still, reflecting the gloomy sky above. The air is heavy with the scent of damp earth and decaying leaves, and strange, phosphorescent fungi glow dimly in the underbrush.

Brief History

Dark Hollow has always been a place of dark enchantment, its origins lost to time. The hags have ruled over the village for generations, their influence growing stronger with each passing year. Many have tried to challenge their power, but none have succeeded, and the villagers have learned to coexist with their enigmatic overlords.
