Hollows (Dark and Light): Difference between revisions

'''Hollows''' (Not to be mistaken for Hallow and its dominion) are rare changeling-like beings that reside all over Alathra. They are mostly nomadic beings 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.

Hollows through ancient text have a connection to draconic beings, specifically those known as the ''‘Dragons who now seek the stars’.'' itIt is written in old texts of the taleTale of Sky and Void. The young twin gods that first brought theirbeast creationand as onebeings into existence. Once one Kin unified by the earth, beings of many forms founded upon unity until a war caused by an ancient threat divided them amongst each other. The Gods in order to stop this splittingsplit the beast in three. Yet the damage had already been done, so in turn the greatest curse was brought upon this race who had the most hate within their hearts. They divided them further into dark and light in hopes that one day they could reunite and find peace within themselves free of darknessmalice, a prophecy formed that one day they would reunite again as kin once more.

While some hollows were able to establish a place many had succumb to an ancient madness created by the being that cause their divide in the first place, it’s broken body seeking to never reunite them. The Hollows over time had many disagreements and divided themselves from their draconic kin, finding a new home on a small island land. Yet despite overcoming some trials and paths to restore themselves and create a new home, eventually only a few scattered Hollows remain. Falling to desperation and despair as years went by. Much of their histories lost to time, much like their draconic kin who were slowly falling to a similarly ill fate.

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 and consume light with their souls.

There are ruins located in some areas detailing their civilization after the war. Their civilization revolved heavily around worship and acceptance, hopes of prophecy for a new future where they all could be one again. 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. Hollows find attraction and comfort in places of the opposing thing they are, which often results in them living in what is seen as unusual places depending on their type. Ex: Light hollows living in dark woods or Dark Hollows in Valleys or mountains.
