Hollow Hills Series

🌑 The World of Hollow Hills | A Town Built on Ruin & Sin

Hollow Hills is not just a town. It is a kingdom of shadows, a graveyard of forgotten screams, and a throne for the wicked. It does not exist on any map. It does not welcome visitors. It swallows them.

To outsiders, it is nothing more than an aging town perched between the mountains and the abyss. But those who live here know the truth—Hollow Hills is a place you do not find. It is a place that finds you.

Once you enter, it never lets you go.

📍 The Geography of Hollow Hills

🌫 Perpetual Fog: The town is shrouded in mist, rolling in from the valley like a ghost that never rests. It muffles screams. It blurs the streets. And sometimes, it carries whispers from things that do not belong to this world.

🏚 Rotting Mansions & Crumbling Estates: The old money families still rule Hollow Hills, but their wealth is not what it once was. Manors stand in silent ruin, their halls still echoing with the sins of those who built them.

🩸 Winding Roads That Lead to Nowhere: Streets loop in ways that do not make sense. You can walk down the same road a hundred times and never reach the same place twice. There are no street signs. Only those who belong here know the way.

🕳 A Hollow Beneath the Hills: There is something beneath Hollow Hills. A network of tunnels, ruins, and underground societies where the real power resides. Those who seek answers go below. But not all of them return.

📍 The Power That Rules Hollow Hills

🔪 The Unseen Kings: There is no mayor, no government. The town is ruled by those who have always ruled it—the families who built it, the men who run the underground, and the monsters that have no name.

☠️ The Blood Laws: There are rules in Hollow Hills, but they are not written in ink. They are carved into flesh, whispered in secret, and reinforced in blood.

You do not speak about what you see.
You do not ask questions you are not ready to die for.
If you belong to someone, you are theirs until they say otherwise.
If you try to leave, you had better run faster than the fog.

📍 Key Locations in Hollow Hills

🖤 The Hollow Citadel | The Crown of Ruin

💀 What It Is: A fortress of blackened stone, sitting at the highest peak of the town. No one has lived there in over a century. Or so they say.
💀 Rumors:

The windows are not empty. At night, figures can be seen moving through the halls.
There is a room that no one dares enter. The last person who tried never left.
The Citadel has no rightful king. But there is a throne waiting for one.

☠️ The Hollow Hills Morgue | Where the Dead Do Not Sleep

💀 What It Is: More than just a morgue—it is where the truth is buried. The bodies that end up here do not always leave. And sometimes, they are not dead when they arrive.
💀 Rumors:

There are more bodies in the basement than in the crypt.
The mortician does not age. He has been here for longer than anyone remembers.
The dead whisper in the dark. And if you listen too closely, you will hear your own name.

🔮 The Black Chapel | A House of Worship & Sin

💀 What It Is: A crumbling church where sinners go to pray—and where prayers are answered with punishment.
💀 Rumors:

The confessional booths are locked from the outside. And those who enter do not always leave.
The priests do not worship God. They worship something older. Something worse.
The altar is still stained with blood. And it is not from sacrifice—it is from devotion.

🩸 The Asylum | A Place for the Mad & the Unwanted

💀 What It Is: A decaying institution on the edge of the town, home to the lost, the broken, and the damned.
💀 Rumors:

The doctors do not treat the patients. They rewrite them.
The walls have eyes. And they do not blink.
Some of the patients do not have names. Because they never did.

🎭 The Nightmarket | Where Anything Can Be Bought—For a Price

💀 What It Is: A hidden underground auction house, accessible only to those who know where to look. Here, you can buy anything. Bodies, obedience, secrets, memories. And once a deal is made, it cannot be undone.
💀 Rumors:

The highest bidders are not human.
There is an item that has been up for auction for over a century. No one dares to buy it.
If you find your own name on the list, it is already too late.

⚰️ The Cemetery of the Unnamed | Where the Forgotten Rest

💀 What It Is: A vast graveyard where none of the tombstones bear names. The bodies here were never meant to be remembered.
💀 Rumors:

Some of the graves are empty. But the ground still moves.
The oldest tomb is unmarked. And yet, fresh flowers appear every morning.
Those who bury their dead here dream of the same woman. And she is always whispering.

🩸 The Rules of Hollow Hills | How to Survive

Hollow Hills is a town of power and ruin. If you want to survive, you must remember:

Never walk alone at night. The streets are not always the same when the sun goes down.
If someone asks if you are lost, say no. Even if you are.
Do not ask about the past. Some things are better left buried.
If you hear your name in the wind, do not turn around. It is not calling for you.
And above all—never try to leave.

Because Hollow Hills does not let go of what belongs to it.
