Stonehollow

Immediately beyond the great gate into the mountains lies Stonehollow—a massive vaulted chamber that acts as the interior city centre of the Undercity. It is a hub for commerce, ritual, and movement deeper into the mountain.

The red-glowing crystal embedded in the vaulted ceiling of Stonehollow—formed from the exposed underside of the Armour of Or—is commonly referred to in Orfolk songs and poetry as “the Armour’s Red Moon.” This name captures the way its radiant beams filter through the Undercity like a second sun, casting angled shadows and suffusing the district with warm, magical twilight.
