Storm Hollow
Description
Nestled deep in the jagged southern spines of the Ashkeeper Peaks , Storm Hollow is a vast, windswept chasm that splits the mountains like a scar. Sheer cliffs plunge into a shadowed gorge veiled in perpetual thunderclouds, and arcane lightning frequently dances across the ridges. From above, Storm Hollow appears as a broken crater, its center drowned in mists that churn like boiling smoke.
Jagged stone pillars and broken statues of long-forgotten draconic entities rise from the walls, hinting at an age before memory. Within the hollow lies a network of ruined temples and tunnels, now claimed by the Cult of the Caustic Heart . This forsaken place is the heart of the cult’s operations and the site of their most dangerous ritual to date.
Lore
Once an ancient shrine devoted to The Platinum Dragon and the elemental powers of the storm, Storm Hollow was shattered during a forgotten war between dragons. Local legends speak of Istarion, Winter’s Wrath, a terrible white wyrm whose bones now rest beneath the Hollow’s fractured shrine. It is said that the storm clouds above never cleared after the ancient beast’s death, and that its breath still lingers in the wind-churned echoes.
