Founded on April 20, 68, the High Hollow District of Emberfield quickly became known as the cultural heart of the city. Anchored by the grand Cathedral of Mystra, this district pays homage to the goddess of magic and has served as a cradle for numerous legendary mage lineages. Throughout its history, High Hollow has hosted significant cultural events, including the vibrant Emberfield Festival of Lights, which celebrates magical artistry and innovation.
However, the once tranquil atmosphere of High Hollow faced grave challenges during the tumultuous Shadow War. Demonic forces invaded the district, culminating in the desecration of the sacred crypts within the Cathedral of Mystra. The destruction wrought during this dark period left an indelible mark on the community, forever altering its character and cultural landscape.
In the aftermath of the conflict, tales emerged of hidden passageways beneath the High Hollow District. These subterranean tunnels are believed to house remnants of the forbidden rituals performed by both mages and demons during the Shadow War. The district’s mysteries beckon adventurers and scholars alike, inviting exploration and discovery while preserving the rich and complex tapestry of its history.
