Lonely hollow cannot fit through the tunnels of its realm and must transform to liquid to travel far.

Overview

Lonely Hollow (Commonspeak) also , Ninhursag (Furyspeak \ˈnɪnhɜrsɑɡ\ for lady of the sacred mountain), is one of the Titans of the Lost Age. It has been known by many names, including The Cave that Keeps, Blackheart Earth, and Her Below. While composed of many concepts, its strongest theme is fear of loss. It is the embodiment of the premise that to have is to survive and to lose is to die.

History

Lonely Hollow was a Titan in the Lost Age who was subsequently imprisoned by the Founders, like all Titans, in the Foundation War during the First Age. It has remained imprisoned ever since.

Description

Debt: the belief that nothing given is truly gone, all things remain reclaimable
