***Grand Legend — The Hollowing of Caer Wyrrd***

***Long ago****, in the dusk-blanketed realm of **Caer Wyrrd**, the boundary between the living and the dead grew thin each **Samhain**. On this hallowed night, when the breath of autumn turned to frost and shadows stretched long, a **secret ritual** was kept. Its purpose: to bind the **Hollow King**—an ancient spirit of silence, rot, and unmaking—beneath the **standing stones of Black Fen**. So long as the **ritual flame** was lit and the names were whispered, the dead would rest, the harvest would thrive, and the darkness would keep to its grave.*

***But this year****, the final fire did not burn. The ring was left cold. And so, **the Hollowing began**.*

***Mists*** *seep now from forgotten places. **Lanterns** swing in doorways that were never built. **Bells toll in reverse** at midnight, and murmurs follow travelers through empty fields. Folk speak of **vanished time**, of **carved symbols reappearing**—etched in bark, sealed in wax, formed in ice. **Old protections unravel**, and strange figures walk beneath the moon in borrowed skins.*

***Eight wanderers****—marked by omen, bound by curse—are drawn from their fractured paths. A **fire-watcher**, a **bone-reader**, a **ward-maker**... each touched by the breach in ways they cannot yet speak. As **Samhain** nears once more and the **last eclipse looms**, they must recover the rites, rekindle the flame, and return to **Black Fen**.*

*For if the **Hollow King** rises, the world will not end in fire or frost— but in **silence**.*
