Location in Avarra
| Field | Record |
|---|---|
| Layer | Hollow Countries |
| Region | The northern echo shadow of Nine Lanterns |
| Physical site | A sealed dome of sound-eating stone and gallery rings that emit no light |
| Access | Neutral Exchange Tunnel; only Nimrûn guides know the city road |
| Life link | Hidden water pockets, quiet air wells, and a closed lantern system |
Silent Hollow is built to appear as an absence on a map. It is found where incoming vibration vanishes, which protects it from invasion but makes calling for aid in a water or lantern failure difficult. Dim Halls decide citizenship in sign language; Neutral Tunnel is its only exchange with outsiders.
Table tensions
- An unmarked chest left in the tunnel grows warmer each day.
- Sound-eating stones ring once at night: someone inside has spoken.
- A Last Glow ballot carries a light colour Silent Hollow never uses.
