Deadwood

A desolate region of dead trees and corrupted land north of Red Hollow, surrounding the Hollow Spire.

Description

• Endless skeletal trees with gray, flaking bark
• Limbs like broken fingers clawing at the pale sky
• Brittle, cracked earth
• Ash-colored sky
• The corrupted heart of Noctis's territory

Significance

The Deadwood represents the corruption spreading from the Hollow Spire — a land where the Song has been silenced.

Book II

Liora, Ephraim, and Tobias emerge from the Red Hollow tunnels here after escaping the Hollowborn. From here, they can see the Hollow Spire on the horizon, their destination to rescue Silas.
