Fogweaver Hollows – A Brief Guide
How It Got Its Name
Fogweaver Hollows got its name from the strange fog that never leaves its caves. This mist doesn’t just float—
it moves on purpose, curling and twisting like woven threads.
Early explorers said they saw the fog form spirals, symbols, and even shadowy shapes that looked almost alive. One traveler whispered, “It weaves the fog…” before running out of the caves in fear.
After that, everyone began calling the place Fogweaver Hollows, one of the oldest and most mysterious places in Gearinthia.
Who Explores There
Not many people explore the Hollows, but those who do are brave and curious, including:
Fog-scholars who study the mist
Mapmakers who chart the twisting tunnels
Underground botanists who grow strange glowing plants
Echo-hunters who track unusual sounds
Lantern-bearers who light the paths
The most mysterious of all are the Fogweavers—ancient, ghostlike beings said to live deep inside the vapor-filled caves. Some people think they guard memories. Others believe they are the leftover shadows of stories long forgotten.
What Makes It Magical
Fogweaver Hollows sits above a deep Aether fracture, where raw imagination leaks into the air as glowing fog. This magical mist can:
Hold memories
Bend and change sound
Play tricks on the senses
Footsteps sometimes echo before you take them.
Whispers drift through the mist like floating ribbons.
Plants grow translucent, bright, and glowing.
Travelers say the fog can even sense emotions—shining softly when someone is brave and darkening when danger is near.
Myths & Legends
Old stories tell of the First Weaver, a being made of pure Aether-fog who stitched the very first stories into existence.
Some believe the Fogweavers work at a giant memory loom hidden deep underground, spinning forgotten dreams into the mist.
Others whisper that lost items—or even lost people—are not gone forever. They are simply “woven into the fog,” waiting for the Hollows to release them when the time is right.
Why It Matters in Gearinthia
Fogweaver Hollows is known as the Memory Root of the kingdom. Many ideas about Aether, illusions, and imagination come from the strange things learned there.
The Hollows inspire inventions, stories, and creativity all across Gearinthia.
Though spooky to some, Fogweaver Hollows reminds everyone that memory and imagination are powerful, and that sometimes the most important stories live in the shadows—quietly weaving the world together.
