Empty Hold

The Empty Hold was a Hold, the primitive version of a Warren, active on the continent of Lether where it was the heart of Letherii worship. It was represented in the Tiles of the Holds where it consisted of:

==In Reaper's Gale==
Inflamed by lust and ambition from exposure to the Demon spirit-god trapped in Settle Lake, the Errant rashly sought to reclaim his lost power by initiating a war between the Holds and the Warrens and defeating the Master of the Deck. He stabbed Feather Witch and flung the bloody knife into the Cedance where it pierced the image of himself on his own tile. After the other tiles finished spinning about his own, the blood filled the channels between them. The wounded Feather Witch gouged out the Errant's eye and consumed it, stealing some of his power and gaining new knowledge of the Warrens. She said the blood between the Cedance's tiles depicted the Warrens and its presence meant the Cedance finally mapped the truth of things. Then she urged the Errant to claim the Empty Throne with herself as Destriant, Brys Beddict as Mortal Sword, and Udinaas as Shield Anvil.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 11, US HC p.282-288
