Story

Eventide Hollow was a lovely kingdom where its people lived in peace. It was once a vast land with free roaming folks and expanding villages, but now it is filled with darkness, strange creatures, and guarded townsfolk. It seems peace doesn’t last forever.

A horrible curse was laid upon the land and Eventide Hollow fell into despair. The source of the curse was also its only protection from it… the Holomento.

The Holomento traps the souls of all who possess it, the mysterious book affixes itself to those who seek passage through the Hollow. If the Traveler dies, their soul is also added to the Holomento before it returns to its resting place awaiting the next traveler.

Once acquired, the book is tied to the soul of the traveler holding it. The Holomento cannot leave the Eventide Hollow and therefore any Traveler who possesses it cannot leave the land.
