GAZETTEER · THE RAMPART FOOTHILLS
Greywater Hollow
aka the Stoneborn steading, the hollow
A tiny Stoneborn quarry-steading folded behind the eastern ridge in the Hollow Vale — three slab-roofed stone houses, a forge, and a cold black tarn — the only hearth and roof in the Rampart Foothills.
Warmer than the shelf around it, sheltered from the north wind by the ridge, easy to miss from the Cairn Road. The Coldhand Pans winter here, cut foundation-stone from the lower columns, and trade worked iron and silver for what they cannot make. Children dare each other to touch the brazen watcher on the terrace above.

references
- ←Saltreach Spring — Two thirsty settlements on opposite sides of the southern divide trade water-rights and salt — Saltreach's spring for the Coldhand Pans' brine-salt — and feud over every dry season. The Southern Flats and the Rampart Foothills meet at a contested well.
- →Dustmere Hollow — The Coldhand Pans run salt east to Dustmere Hollow in the Crags, where it is worth more than coin; the salt-road is short, hard, and the only honest reason to cross the broken ground between the foothills and the crags.
- →Oakwatch — The foothill loggers and the Greenwake's Oakwatch trade across the tree-line — cut timber and pitch down from the wood, dried fish and pan-salt up — the only steady commerce between the Rampart Foothills and the deep Greatwood.
- ←The Brazen Watcher — The Brazen Watcher is the Greywater children's dare-stone — close enough to the hollow that children from the settlement reach it on a long afternoon.
- ←The Falls of Stilled Water — The Falls are visible from the Hollow Vale in winter — their blue-white ice curtain is a calendar landmark for the Greywater Hollow community.

- →The Coldhum Deep — The Coldhum Deep's entrance is in the ridge above Greywater Hollow — the settlement is the base camp for anything going into the cave.
- →The Drowned Course — The Drowned Course tarn sits at the hollow's eastern margin — Greywater Hollow children know not to swim in the tarn because the floor drops away into the sunken arcade.
