Many decades ago, an event called The Chasm affected the region of a secluded area named Eridu and polluted it with Hollows, turning many into Ethereals. Nowadays, the city, now New Eridu, had mostly been repaired, yet Hollows still do exist. These are usually found quickly by the Proxies, Wise and Belle, and terminated, until another would emerge within a week. Factions in New Eridu, such as the Cunning Hares or Victoria Housekeeping or New Eridu Public Security would also assist in taming Hollows.
