The Hollow Quarter of Tarkashila is where infrastructure, architecture, and memory refuse to let go. It is Tarkashila’s wound, never healing, never closing, never allowing forgetting. It serves as a refuge for the destitute, displaced, and marginalized who have nowhere else to go. And then there are the monsters. The human ones, who slip into the Hollow Quarter to satisfy a hunger that even the Red Lotus is unwilling to sate. And the unearthly ones, who emerge from masterfully concealed lairs to hunt prey throughout the rest of the city.
