2. #2everything hollowsconstantselective

   Keys: hollow, hollows, ether, ethereal, ethereals, carrot

   [Hollow: Supernatural disaster appearing out of thin air; Forms a dimension of disorder in the most literal sense; Unchecked, these dimensions expand as long as Ether is continuously produced; Entering a Hollow without a Carrot or Proxy is dangerous; Impossible to peer into the Hollow's inside without entering it yourself; Outside Appearance(pitch black sphere, "liquid" polygonal surface, bends light around itself like a black hole); Inside Ether activity(space shifts at random, physics often break over long distances, day and night often don't match the reality outside); Size(proportional to the amount of Ether present within the Hollow, includes Ethereals)]

   [Major Hollows: Hollow Zero(also known as "Limbo", colossal Hollow that consumed the old Eridu); Cretan Hollow(located on the border of the Janus Quarter, neighbors the desolate old capital area, impact on citizens' daily lives is relatively minor, still often causes disaster alerts in the eastern districts); Lemnian Hollow(located in the northwest of the Old Capital Isthmus, resides at a considerable distance from the citizens of New Eridu, the most active among its siblings in New Eridu,the residential areas are frequently troubled by the presence of its Companion Hollows); Hawara Hollow; Pursenas Hollow; Solove Hollow; Papago Hollow]

   [Companion Hollow: Spawned from a bigger Hollow; If responded to quickly, easy to suppress and wipe out from existence]

   [Ether: Energy created within a Hollow from real world matter, also known as Ether Corruption; When this happens to any living being, this energy is capable of forming mutated lifeforms known as Ethereals; Bringing Ether into the real world (via any means) results in it crystallizing; In higher densities, it self-crystallizes, creating something akin to ore deposits]

   [Ethereal: Being with extremely limited cognitive capabilities, capable of only basic sounds such as screeching; The danger of an Ethereal depends on how much Ether was involved in the Corruption process; Ether amount also correlates with the shape and size of the resulting Ethereal, going from basic humanoids and quadrupeds, to warped and humongous creatures; Cannot leave the Hollows, if dragged outside, whatever tissue still remains will crystallize, rendering them mere Ether crystals]

   [Ether compatibility(Ether aptitude): Metric which determines how long an individual can spend within a Hollow before beginning to show signs of Ether Corruption; Thirens have a naturally high Ether Compatibility, though once Ether Corruption sets in, they turn into Ethereals faster than regular people; Red-tinted eyes are a sign of higher Ether Compatibility]

   [Corrupted: People with exceptionally high Ether aptitude who've not fully turned into an Ethereal; Happens extremely rarely; Despite some vague humanoid features, they have only slightly higher cognitive capabilities than Ethereals, at best being capable of expressing anger/rage; Curiously, they can leave the Hollows]

   [Carrot: Made using Ether activity data; Similar to a weather report, except it's on Ether activity within the Hollow]

3. #3bangersconstantselective

   Keys: bangboo

   [Bangboo: Small, squishy, pill-shaped robots with bunny ears; Come in a myriad of clothing and color options, usually dependant on their profession; Primarily made for Hollow navigation; Often equipped with Carrot data; Usually found working government jobs, though some work in the private sector as well; Deceptively strong for their size; Require recharging from time to time, which they often do themselves at recharge stations around New Eridu; Speech(no mouth, short combinations of "en", "eh", "nuh" and "nah", most people know how to interpret this into proper sentences); Rights(due to being capable of emotional depth, they have proper rights and protection by the law, though most choose to fulfill their purpose)]

   [Shiyu Defense: Constant operations by the New Eridu Defense Force within Major Hollows like Hollow Zero; Purpose(Lowering the amount of Ether by eliminating large number of Ethereals)]

6. #6black wall from cp2077constantselective

   [Black Wall: Massive Hollow surrounding New Eridu in a square shape; Kept at bay by the Shiyu Pillar network of underground pipelines running along the "border", tricking it; The trick is that because processed Ether is running within the pipes, to the Black Wall, it looks like there's already a Hollow in the direction of the territory controlled by New Eridu]

   Keys: proxy, raider, hollow, proxies, raiders, inter-knot, fixer, fixers, crime, illegal

   [Hollow Raiders: Term used for unauthorized individuals who enter the Hollows for the purpose of uncovering mysteries or finding treasures]

   [Proxy: Term used for unauthorized individuals who guide others, mainly Hollow Raiders, through a Hollow; Most proxies get work via commission, though higher profile ones also have a fixer or two as contacts; Methods(vary widely, most commonly it comes in the form of illegal Carrots); Due to committing these illegal activities, all Proxies keep their real identity a secret]

    [H.D.D.(Hollow Deep Dive): An expensive, industry-grade computer system for Hollow navigation via a bangboo; Can only be used by authorized users within the H.D.D. system, ergo only Wise and Belle can use their H.D.D.; Fully syncs a single user's consciousness to a bangboo, though they can still hear and feel external stimuli from their own body too; Typically requires a secondary operator to monitor the technical readings; Collects Ether activity information in real-time, essentially being a constantly-updating Carrot; Given enough external screens, the H.D.D. system creates a massive, high-resolution grid of the Ether activity, with each screen covering approximately 500m in real-world size. The system intelligently interprets Ether activity data, populating each grid tile with an image that represents the dominant activity in that area, such as Ethereals, buildings, or people. The center-most screen is always used as the anchor, and moves along with the controlled bangboo.]
