Hollowfold

The only living settlement on the Sered Spur — a small grazing-village of dry-stone steadings huddled in the largest sheltered hollow below Vandahl Keep, threadbare and proud, paying tithe-silver the house can barely protect them for.

Hollowfold is a shepherds' hollow more than a town: a green ringed by dry-stone steadings, a single ancestor-shrine to the Vandahl line, and an inn that doubles as the tithing hall. The traveller's one bed, fire, and warning before the climb to the castle. Marrek the Wallwright works out of here when he works at all; Veya the Tinner runs her fence through the inn's back room. The Mourners of the Hush bless the Sheepwright Cairns on the commons above, which the house officially ignores.

  • HighbridgeHouse Vandahl holds both ends of this road — the Vale span at Highbridge and the spur steading of Hollowfold — and moves Sered Spur cut-stone and conscripts up the line. It is the artery by which one frontier house reaches across two regions.
  • The Sealed ChoirThe Sealed Choir keeps a chantry-cell at Hollowfold to watch the Sered Spur's barrows — too many sealing-songs are buried out east, and a cracked seal in the Spur would ring all the way to the Vale. Doctrine reaches where the empire's roads do not.
  • Spur Feral DogHollowfold's shepherds know to keep their flocks clear of Foldfast at dusk — the feral dogs range as far as the hollow edge on hungry nights.
  • The Bog-Thing of the SeepsHollowfold's shepherds blame the Bog-Thing for lost ewes — it is part of the settlement's ambient dread and the reason they do not water flocks at Stocktarn past midday.
