1st land · Spiral from tier 1
Dead Brook
The first land. The water in the brook is black as pitch, and the forest is silent. Here a Keeper wakes, meets Lumi for the first time, and gives a soul back for the first time.
Lands
The first land teaches everything: the first fight, the first loot, the first soul returned. Its lord is the bear Ragged Hide in the Lair; besides him the land is held by the Overlords of the brook.
The Hollow Burrow is also the game’s first labyrinth: five halls, visible packs, an elite in the middle and a named lord at the end.
The Endless Spiral enters this layer from tier 1.
