'''Hollows''' (Not to be mistaken for Hallow and its dominion) are rare changeling-like beings that reside all over Alathra. They are mostly nomadic who don’t recall memories of their past, instead usually finding connections and identity with those around them. Their magic pertains to the halves of their souls, either light or dark with slight elemental affinity. They have an attraction to the opposing elements while often stay away from too much of their main element due to their broken souls.
== Appearance ==
Hollows can vary in appearance greatly depending on where they adapt but often their colors tends to be a giveaway. Hollows are often colored in varying shades of grays or white in their skin depending on their soul, in a way that is inhuman. They also tend to lean into demonic, angelic and draconic appearance when not in a community. They are often mistaken for other races so it is best to ask. It is seen that those that recall their memories of the past also tend to have a sort of ‘third eye’ in the same color as their true eye,

▲== Magic ==
Hollows have a natural affinity to light or dark magic depending on their souls. Light and Dark magic has many properties than just lighting up or snuffing out a place. In order to use their magic they must consume the opposing energy as using their magic results in an overcharge of their already unbalanced souls. If a Hollow doesn’t take that measure it can result in passing out or on rare occasions, a sort of illness.
Line 13 ⟶ 17:
Dark Hollows are beings that manipulate Darkness, this is a bit different from shadows but they can control that too, albeit with more difficulty. It is more like a void ability, able to take light away. In the absence of light, they are able to take complete darkness and control it at will. They can essentially become invisible by merging with darkness, as well as limiting their aura by essentially absorbing it out of existence for a brief moment. They can also make little voids pockets, if they could control it well that is. They can also make voids with their souls.
▲==Culture?==
There are ruins located in some areas detailing their civilization after the war. Their civilization revolved heavily around worship and acceptance of their fate and hopes for a new future. Lone Hollows often follow the same pattern of drawing connections with communities nearby, mimicking styles with fragments of memory left. Many just try to find some sort of thing to make them whole as many are unsure about what they really feel, which often results in them living in unusual places depending on their type. Ex: Light hollows living in dark woods
