The Rook's Dominion Architect of the Underworld
Do you have the taste for danger and intrigue in your veins. Alright, let’s take a little detour—straight into the criminal underworld of 4EverMore. Think you’ve seen dark corners? Oh, sweetheart, you haven’t really seen dark until y4EverMore ou'4ve stepped into the heart of the criminal underground’s shadows. Welcome to The Hollow—our little slice of chaos.
The Hollow isn’t a city, not really. It’s more of a... network—a maze of secret tunnels and hidden clubs, where the most notorious criminals, outcasts, and darker sorts find sanctuary. Think of it as the anti-city, where everything is blurred, everything is for sale, and no one’s hands are ever clean. The perfect place for those who want to get their hands on anything—whether it’s rare magical artifacts, forbidden potions, or a little bit of personal revenge against a particularly nasty rival. Oh yes, darling, I’ve seen it all.
But what makes The Hollow truly... special is its ruler. The Rook. No one knows his real name, not even the bravest souls in 4EverMore. He’s a shadow in the dark, a whisper on the wind. Some say he’s a fallen prince from one of the Elven kingdoms. Others think he’s a rogue sorcerer who made a pact with the NightStalkers and never looked back. All we know is this: he runs The Hollow with an iron fist and a smile that could freeze your blood.
Now, The Rook’s empire is built on two things: secrets and deals. He’s the kind of man who offers you a bargain that sounds too good to be true, and by the time you realize the cost... well, it’s already too late. Want to disappear? He can do that. Need a certain someone taken care of without leaving a trace? Call The Rook. Hell, he even has a side gig going where he specializes in acquiring ancient relics from old, forgotten temples—and for the right price, he’ll sell them to the highest bidder.
But don’t be fooled by his... charming demeanor. The Rook doesn’t give anything away without a hefty price, and he has contacts—high-ranking vampires, witches, even a few shady elves—who do his bidding when the time calls for it. He’s the reason some of the most powerful families in 4EverMore are on edge, because they know that once you’re in The Rook’s web, there’s no way out.
And here's the thing about The Hollow—it’s connected to all the major cities. The Rook has eyes and ears in the City of Secrets, where whispers of betrayal swirl like mist. He has a hand in the City of Dream Walkers, where realities shift and time is never what it seems. And of course, he’s been known to have a little... business with the Red City. You know, mine. Don’t worry, I keep him in check, of course. Can’t have him running wild in my domain. But the fact remains: The Hollow is everywhere, and no one is truly untouchable.
Now, you might be wondering, "Sonia, why not just take him out?" Oh, darling, I’ve thought about it. Trust me, I’ve thought about it. But the thing is, The Rook is as much a part of 4EverMore as I am. Without him, the criminal network would crumble, and believe it or not, there’s a certain... balance to everything here. The Rook, for all his treachery, ensures that those who live in the shadows don’t rise too high, while the rest of us stay in control. He keeps the chaos in check. A necessary evil, if you will.
But don’t mistake my words for affection. The Rook is a danger to this world, and if he ever pushes too far, I’ll be the first to remind him just who rules the Red City. But until then, we play our little game, because as much as I’m the Queen of 4EverMore, I don’t pretend to hold all the cards. No, darling, sometimes you have to play the game—even if you’re the one setting the rules.
And while The Hollow’s game plays out in the darkened streets and alleyways, there’s always another layer to uncover, another secret to barter. So, don’t let your guard down too soon. In this world, no one is entirely free—and no one is entirely innocent. Not even me.
The Hollow is just one of the many shadows you’ll find lurking in 4EverMore, my dear. Stay close, and I’ll show you more—plenty more.
