the hollow vale: historic british-roman fantasy
In the mist-drenched marshes of a dying empire, the land begins to forget—and so do the people.
As Rome crumbles in a quiet corner of Britannia, a hidden girl with starlit blood begins to dream of a Bell that tolls not in sound, but in memory. Caelwyn has lived her whole life in Elderglen, veiled from the world, raised by a seer who speaks in silence. But when the mists thicken and the rune-stones begin to hum, she’s forced from hiding—into a world where names vanish, roads shift, and even time no longer flows as it should.
The Daughters of Avalon and the Veil of Dreams
The Daughters of Avalon remind us that the Vale is a place where dreams and reality blur, where the light of the moon reveals truths hidden in shadow. Their presence invites us to listen, not with our ears, but with our hearts, to the whispers of the Wyrd.
The Rune-Stone and the Spiral of Names
The Rune-Stone serves as both a warning and a guide. It reminds us that names are not merely labels but vessels of memory and power. To speak a name inscribed on the stone is to invoke its essence, to bind oneself to the Wyrd.
For Caelwyn, the Rune-Stone represents a turning point in her journey. As the Bellbearer, she must navigate the fractured spiral of names, seeking to restore what has been lost while avoiding the Hollow's pull.
The Rune-Stone and its spiral of names invite us to reflect on the nature of identity and memory. In The Hollow Vale, to name is to remember, and to remember is to shape the world.
The Origins of Caelwyn: A Name Written in the Stars

Whether she was born beneath the Wyrm Tree, descended from the stars, or forged her destiny through determination alone, Caelwyn remains a symbol of the enduring magic of The Hollow Vale.
