The Hollow

Description
The Hollow Men are soulless denizens of the Gloaming Wood. Their skin hangs in pallid wrinkles, and they only wear what rags remain of their clothes. They normally amble around aimlessly, but when confronted with a creature that reminds them of their past life, they fly into a rage, attacking them with surprising speed and ferocity. Hollow Men tend to travel in packs, and have sometimes been seen operating together to achieve unknown goals.

Origin
There are several known ways to become a Hollow Man. The first and most common is simply to die within the Gloaming Wood. Those who lose their will to continue because of the stupefying light of the Gloaming Wood will likewise become hollow men despite lacking a physical death. The third and least known way to become a hollow man is to have your soul extracted by magical means.

Corvus Society
The Corvus society is a group of talented necromancers that are attempting to understand the nature of Hollow Men. They can manipulate hollow men and as rumor holds, they have the ability to create them.
