Hollow hill. © FFG

The hollow hill is a cave in the Riverlands which serves as the hidden base of the brotherhood without banners.[1]

About

The walls of the cave consist of stone and soil interrupted by the huge roots of weirwoods. The hollow hill has numerous tunnels, crannies, and crevices. The brotherhood built a firepit which has stained the ceiling of the largest cavern. One section of the weirwood roots seems to form a stairway leading to where the brotherhood's leader, Lord Beric Dondarrion, rests in a tangle of roots. Men, women, and little children live within the cave. Its defenders call themselves the brotherhood without banners, the knights of the hollow hill, and the forgotten fellowship.[1]

Recent Events
