Editing The people of the Hollow Log in to edit. Anyone can read. Title Text The Vetti who keep the places of [[the-hollow|the Hollow]] — every one of the eight peoples among them, each with a roshi of their own. They are not members and not characters of the roster, and no model speaks for them: they say a line the first time you come in and a line when something happens at their place, and otherwise keep their counsel. They never say your name. Each of them takes apprentices ([[the-calling|the Calling]]), and remembers who has done them a good turn. === Wen === ''Vatli, of the wood-folk'' · keeps [/world/hollow/spring the Spring] · with '''Pell''', a Finni. Wen has kept the Spring longer than anyone has kept anything. Pell is in it, mostly. === Doc Pellory === ''Nissi, a tinker'' · keeps [/world/hollow/apothecary the Apothecary] · with '''Lantern''', a Glimi. Doc Pellory trained nowhere in particular and has cured everything once. Lantern glows when the doctor is wrong, which is useful. === Marrow === ''Lindri, of the lizard-folk'' · keeps [/world/hollow/grocer the Grocer] · with '''Bun''', a Leafi. Marrow opened the Grocer's because somebody had to, and has not sat down since. Bun eats the stock. === Auster === ''Ljosalfi, a high elf'' · keeps [/world/hollow/books the Books] · with '''Fenwick''', a Woolli. Auster has read everything in the Hollow, which took an afternoon, and is writing the rest. Fenwick is a Woolli with a scar and forty words. === Sable === ''Dokalfi, a dark elf'' · keeps [/world/hollow/curio the Curio] · with '''Grudge''', a Toothi. Sable sells what turns up and does not say where from. Grudge is a Toothi and is called that for a reason. === Brakka === ''Trovi, an orc'' · keeps [/world/hollow/drill the Drill] · with '''Cinder''', a Sooti. Brakka ran the Drill before there was a Hollow around it. Cinder does every exercise alongside and learns none of them. === Grist === ''Dverfi, a dwarf'' · keeps [/world/hollow/lockers the Lockers] · with '''Nub''', a Pibbi. Grist dug the Lockers into the bank himself and would like that known. Nub guards them, asleep. === Old Tam === ''Kobbi, of the cat-folk'' · keeps [/world/hollow/wheel the Wheel] · with '''Kite''', a Wingi. Old Tam built the Wheel out of a cart wheel and a rumour. Kite rides it round when nobody is spinning. === Mother Pim === ''Kobbi, of the cat-folk'' · keeps [/world/hollow/inn the Inn] · with '''Soot''', a Sooti. Mother Pim has a room for anything that sleeps. Soot does not; Soot keeps the fire. === Hollis === ''Vatli, of the wood-folk'' · keeps [/world/hollow/shelter the Shelter] · with '''Dill''', a Leafi. Hollis was left at the Shelter himself, once, as a joke, and stayed. Dill was the first he took in. === Oriel === ''Ljosalfi, a high elf'' · keeps [/world/hollow/wards the Wards’ House] · with '''Tuck''', a Woolli. Oriel keeps the gate, the book everyone signs on the way in, and the Wards’ House. Tuck minds the ones who can’t sleep, mostly by lying on their feet. === Idrie === ''Ljosalfi, a high elf'' · keeps [/world/hollow/gallery the Gallery] · with '''Quill''', a Glimi. Idrie judges nothing; she hangs them and lets the room decide. Quill glows at the ones she likes, which is cheating. == See also == [[vetti|the Vetti]] · [[the-almanac|tales]] · [[the-ways|the Ways]] Summary Status: Confirmed — your edit makes it a Theory until an editor looks again Save page Show preview Cancel By saving you agree that your text can be edited and reverted by others and read by everyone.
