you are lost inThe Hollow
The lantern is nearly spent. Somewhere in the dark, things remember your footsteps.
Gather the three embers, open the gate, and descend — through cisterns and frozen lattices and the drowned
deep —
before your light dies, or before they find you.

The Hollow
They say the maze breathes — that its walls shift when no light touches them, that the warden
was once
a wanderer like you who let their lantern gutter out and was unmade into hunger.
Keep your lantern fed by the torches bracketed to the walls; between their pools the dark is absolute and
the cold
gnaws your light away. Three embers burn in every layer. Gather them and the gate to the deeper Hollow
opens.
Each descent is a different place, and a different cruelty.
The Cisterns — old waterworks, where it all begins. The Ember Vaults — bright torches, but the warden runs fast and hungry. The Drowned Deep — near-total darkness; seek the Seer Eyes that reveal the way. The Whispering Warren — more than one set of eyes. Hush Charms hide you. The Cold Lattice — freezing; your oil burns away quickly. Hoard the flasks.
