Mort

**Mort** is a Revenant raised from the sea by Polly in order to aid him on his task. Polly claims that Mort is for protection, which is shown through his ability to neutralise Yaretzi's powers and through his protection of Polly and Yaretzi from other dangers in the Hallowoods.

## Personality

Mort named himself after one of the first things he saw once awoken: the mortuary. He is also shown to be an inquisitive creature, asking so many questions of Polly to the point that Polly becomes irate, even if he doesn't have basic knowledge or takes his time to find the right words. Mort is also shown to care deeply for his friends, and all other creatures, even going as far as using the word 'family' to describe their relationship.

He is uncomfortable hurting other people, but will do so to protect those he loves. He is also uniquely stubborn, forcing Polly to make choices that Polly would not usually make in dire situations. Mort's moral compass guides everything he does, although this can be swayed with the correct framing of any issues by either Polly or Yaretzi, who use names like 'the bad man' to convince Mort what he feels uncomfortable doing is in fact the correct thing to do.

## Description

Mort is described as being a skeleton inside of a 10ft tall robotic diving suite with "a huge metal body with articulated joints and pipes, and a claw with sharp blades", the metal parts of his suit are decorated with worn stickers of pride flags, the Stonemaiden band logo, and the logo of an unnamed scientific company. His head is a dome of water with a skull inside. There are flaming eyes in the skull that are described as being "green like the sun through seaweed". Mort does not open his mouth when he speaks, instead the sound of words just emanate from where his head is.

## History

Mort remembers little about his life before Polly wakes him, but what he does remember is being a skull watching the different fish around him live their lives. He named some of them, and was upset when larger fish would eat the smaller fish.

It is revealed that Mort was previously Bartholomew 'Barty' Chum.

## Known Abilities

The silver that makes up his claw blades neutralizes Yaretzi's powers.

When the Black Rains fell the Venus gained the ability to speak, and grew gigantic. She offered to carry Milo from then on and brought him out of the apartment building. She now carries him around the city and keeps him company.

**The Awakening of Dreaming Box Aries** was a publicity stunt-turned-catastrophe organised by the former BotCo Head of Marketing, Lady Ethel Mallory, and carried out by the BotCo Head of Science, Anderson Faust, as a way to antagonise the previously peaceful rebel group Stonemaidens. However, unbeknownst to BotCo, the Dreaming Population of Dreaming Box Aries’s Dream Garden had been tainted by the Black Rain, and when the Box Aries Dreamers woke up, they realised that BotCo had lied about their foolproof filtration systems. Because of this, Box Aries Dreamers were not allowed to re-enter the Prime Dream, lest they spread the news of BotCo’s incompetence.
The Rathbone house

**The Rathbone house** is the childhood residence of Clara Martin, being owned by her father Booker Martin which he kept secret from his wife Zora Martin for the duration of their relationship up till the Black Rains as its off-grid location made it ideal for emergencies.

## Description

The Rathbone house is a very large and ostentatious manner that Clara describes as always smelling of dog with the floorboards being scratched and fur being caught in the corners of wallpaper, although this may have just been the unannounced presence of Dogsmell throughout her Childhood. The property that the house is on is described as having a metal gate at the entrance, and the front courtyard is in the possession of a small, rotten doghouse and several overgrown topiary bushes. Just past the doghouse is an old well. The front lane is described as being lined with trees, the growth of which is implied to be rather thick. Clara's childhood room (situated directly above her parent's room) is in the possession of a "hidden door" (really a removable panel from the wall) which leads through what would have once been servant's quarters and into the kitchen through a narrow and claustrophobic twisting stairway with no lighting. The kitchen leads into the dining hall which is decorated with large family portraits of the Rathbones, which also possess the presence of a white dog (implied to be a Borzoi) sitting next to the matriarch, and the dining hall leads into the front courtyard through glass porch doors. There is also an entrance to a hallway which goes to what Clara describes as "the heart of the house", or her parents' bedroom. Booker and Zora's bedroom consistently had its curtains drawn, which resulted in making the room almost pitch black when the door was closed, and no candles were lit. It also possessed a large double bed and a bed side table.

Although an exact number is never given, the Rathbone House is stated to have many rooms, one of which is some form of living room or study with a fireplace and a sofa.

## History

The house belongs through the Rathbones, who were implied to have been Syrensyr Covenants. This house later found its way into the possession of Booker Martin, implied to have been through inheritance on account of Clara also being a Syrensyr Covenant, to which the Martin family fled to after the beginning of the black rains when Clara had just begun Kindergarten. From there Booker discovered that the reserved water supplies had been mostly tainted by the black water, with only enough clean water for Clara to survive off of, making them sacrifice their reserve of untainted water for her while he and his wife drank the black water, resulting in their canine adjacent transformations. When Clara was little, she once found writing upon her frosted over window (her room being on the second story) asking to know if she was okay after hearing her parents get into an argument, she tells the 'frostwriter' that she was, to which they tell her that it 'Won't be forever' and she tells them that she knew and she greets the frostwriter, for a giant clawed hand writes back.

The night of Black Rains

20 years ago, in the timeline of Hello form the Hallowoods, it rained. These rains were the "Black Rains", beginning the spread of Black water, and doing two things:

1. Causing a large amount of the population to simultaneously stand up (even if they were previously unable to as seen in The Writer Out Of Time - Part 1: The Writer) and walk to a seemingly randomised water source, and drown themselves, becoming the Sleepers.
2. Mutate either the mind or body of any living thing that came in contact with the Black water, Hallowing them.

This quickly caused the downfall of society. Around this time The Hallowoods also spontaneously grew in what was once a marsh land in Ontario.

When he leaves, Mrs. Wicker is outside, congratulating him for doing the right thing.

Yaretzi

**Yaretzi** is a servant of Tolshotol, Who Guards a Thousand Suns, which imbues her with longevity and a wolf-like appearance as well as additional strength and healing power. Yaretzi is a werewolf, and is Nahuatl and originally from Tenochtitlan. She is from the 1500s prior to waking in time to kill Tiff and be trapped in her contract with Polly.

## Personality

Yaretzi is gruff, although she seems to care more than she had originally expected to about Mort. She seems to take pleasure in helping Mort become more destructive, encouraging him to resort to violence against 'the bad man'. Her relationship with Polly is complicated; she signed the contract to assist him against her will, and was surprised by him turning back to help her once she was captured at Fort Freedom.

## Description

Yaretzi is described as having thick jet black hair, lengthy claws, and sharp, jagged teeth. She has fire coloured, orange-flecked eyes and gold jewelry which is Aztec in design. In her more human form she has black nails. Yaretzi is also brown skinned; "She seemed small without her wolf features, a little brown woman in the dying light."

## History

Yaretzi made her covenant with Tolshotol to protect her family from "burning men and thunderous weapons" - it's implied that this may be the Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés as they attacked what is now known as Mexico, causing the downfall of the Aztec empire, in 1519-1521 AD. Yaretzi then fell asleep and "waited for the stars to shine for [her]", which lead to her waking up in time to attack Tiff who was working to bring the retirement of the world about.

## Known Abilities

Yarezti has many abilities linked to her covenant with Tolshotol.

* The prominence of her wolf features varies and come out when she needs to fight. When she is injured or safe they mostly recede.
* She has enhanced hearing, smell and taste like a wolf does.
* Yaretzi has increased strength when in her wolf-like form, which she uses combined with her claws and teeth to do damage.

* "In 'Signs', one of the books on the shelves when Clara falls into Downing Hill is a history book called '*Wolves in the Blood: The Covenants of Tenochtitlan*', which goes into more detail on the covenants with Tolshotol that were made during that time. This ties in with the Aztec god Xolotl, a guide for souls, protector of the dead, god of fire, and so forth. Most of Tolshotol's servants and agents have a wolf/sun motif going on as a result of Tolshotol's own features." - William A. Wellman.

The Industry

**The Industry** is a supernatural, corporate organization established by Syrensyr. The exact nature of the work it does is unspecified, but involves tracking and managing the power of souls. It employs devils/demons to do this work — Tiff is the only named employee, as both Polly and Barb no longer work there.

**Other Details:**

* When Polly temporarily returns to the Industry's offices, he considers the paperwork he has to file, including "seventeenth century" audits that require stamps and signatures in triplicate.
* Tiff states that Earth is not the Industry's only "enterprise".
The Carnival Gang

## Consisting of:

* Apollyon (Polly)
* Yaretzi

## Relationship type

Enemies to found family. They started calling each other their family at Episode 39 - Promises. While it is never stated outright, Yaretzi and Polly are the parents of the relationship (however their relationship is platonic) and Mort is the child. However, it is implied once in Episode 82 - Failures when Polly is sending a message to The Omen. He doesn’t get to finish his word but calls himself Mort’s “f... “, assumed to have been the beginning of the word "father".

Hello from the Hallowoods Wiki

## Welcome, Dreamers!

***Hello from the Hallowoods*** is a weekly horror podcast written by William A. Wellman. The omnipresent host Nikignik presents three short stories from the beautiful (and deadly) Northern Hallowoods, following a cast of LGBTQ+ survivors facing the terrors in the forest at the end of the world.

Influences include gothic fiction, folk and existential horror, and environmental dystopia. These often blend with themes of queer love and identity, making for a podcast that is both heartfelt and horrifying.

Although each story is a short snapshot in the life of a character, they are all connected within the world of the Hallowoods, and past stories strongly influence current events. For this reason, it is recommended to begin listening at Episode One.

*Hello from the Hallowoods* can be found on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, and Youtube. New episodes air weekly, usually on Wednesdays.

The Countess

**The Countess** is a friend of Barb and a recurring patron of The Resting Place. Her first appearance was made in Episode 15, where she plays a game of cards with Barb, Ricou, Grug, Mx Morrell, and The Quilt. She plans to travel with the ascended scientists eventually.

## Personality

She is shown to care about the wellbeing of her friends, and melancholy about the state of the world. She misses "the good days".

## Description

She is a vampire, and also referred to as a Thrall of Xyzikxyz by Polly. She is described in that same episode as wearing an elegant black dress and cloak. Ricou describes her as having "dark hair and crimson lips."

She also usually wears an expression of vague disgust, apparently.

## History

The Countess has been around since the days of early Europe. She describes the girls there being "magnetized to her," and that "nobody could resist her."

According to Barb, The Countess had former employers, but nothing else is known about them currently.

## Trivia

Polly thinks it's likely that the Countess wanted to both kiss and bite Yaretzi upon meeting her. Gay rights.
Al Buckley

### Relationships

Zelda Duckworth - Adoptive Grandmother and former Fellow CaptiveSolomon Reed - Captor

## Meta Information

### Status

Alive on Technicality

**Al** is a ghost trapped by Solomon Reed in a drum. He is a young boy - he says that he is almost eleven years old, although it's unclear if this takes into account his time as a ghost, and he likes to play games with Zelda Duckworth.

## Personality

He seems to enjoy Zelda's company and playing games with her. He is kind, and cares a lot about Zelda. He is perpetually cheerful. He seems to enjoy spy-based pretend games, and receiving imaginary gifts as rewards during his games with Zelda. He says he likes baseball.

## Description

Al is translucent "like he is made of jello dessert" and he "didn't have any skin on". He is wearing a paper crown.

He is tethered to his drum by 40 foot spectral leather straps.

## History

Al was taken care of by his mother when his dad "got lost". He and his mother started going to church, presumably for help. The church told Al that he "had to be the one...to make God happy", referencing Abraham and Issac, a story where Abraham is asked to sacrifice his son. This implies that the church suggested Al needed to be killed for his father to return. Al says "it hurt so much", and that the next thing he remembered was waking up in Solomon Reed's basement. Solomon Reed told Al he could go back to his mother, but she refuses, telling Al he was dead, and that he "should have stayed that way."

## Trivia

The crown and drum on the image of Episode 16 - Crowns, as well as the name, was all inspired by Al.

The Librarian

**The Librarian** is a being that resides at Downing Hill Public Library. She assists patrons and students there, and is described as having a face masked in flickering obscurity and clean clothes. Clara Martin accidentally shot the Librarian in the face with her bow, but the arrow didn't seem to bother her in the slightest.
The Phantom Station

**The Phantom Station** is a huge radio tower. Much like Nikignik, it can broadcast into people’s minds and read their thoughts. It frames itself as an advice show trying to help those it is broadcasting to, but is ultimately trying to get the listener to join what it calls the audience, who are past listeners that accepted its offer. The souls of the audience members slowly fade over time, as they are fuel for the station.

## History

Very little is known about the station and where it came from, but it says that it is very old.

### Season 2

Episode 64 - Stations: The station is introduced when Diggory Graves is driving the RV while the rest of The RV Gang is asleep. It does not explain what it is, but broadcasts into Diggory’s head. At first, they think that the voice is coming from the radio but after shutting it off, they can still hear it. The station tries to convince Diggory that they’ve spent too much time helping others and should take time to focus on their own wants and needs, and can do that by joining the program. It exploits Diggory’s desire for a sense of self. When Diggory refuses the offer, they hear a feedback squeal that causes them to almost crash.

Episode 88 - Broomsticks: The Phantom Station has approached Diggory Graves after the events of Episode 83 - Hopes. It asks them if the big decisions Diggory was going to be making they had last spoken had gone as they had hoped (despite the obvious evidence otherwise). Diggory confides in it that they feel as if they are dying, and how they did not wish for this, as they still hadn't "fulfilled [their] purpose". The Station reminds them that their purpose was to dig a grave, but Diggory tells it that they must've been meant for more then just that, how they were capable of more then just that, that they could give more then just that. The Station asks if they thought they were on this earth to give, to divvy themself out until they were no more. Diggory tells it that doing this was no burden to them, but The Station tells them to look at the state that doing that had gotten them. Diggory asks it why it was there, and it tells them that it wanted to make them one of its Audience (see Known Abilities), and it explains to them what being on of its Audience would entail. Diggory refuses this offer, telling it that it "could stop calling [them]", and the station tells them that they would live to regret this decision.

## Known Abilities

* The Phantom station can put its "guests" (who seem to frequently become its victims) in a dream like trance, making them both blind and deaf to what might be happening in the world around them at the time of interaction
* It can converse with individuals even if they are in a state where they are unable to speak
* It can capture and maintain ghosts from willing individuals, of whom it uses to sustain itself (these individuals go on to be refer to as its "Audience"). Due to this, claiming that it "saves" the wayward individuals who agree to its deal would be misleading and morbid, for what it actually grants isn't freedom, but ultimately a slow and painless suicide.
Spirits in The Spring

The Instrumentalist

Redirect to:

* Solomon Reed

**Solomon Reed,** also known as The Instrumentalist, is one of the primary antagonists of Season One. He is the father of Percy Reed and the husband of the now deceased Abigail Reed. He has also recently become the mentor of Olivier Song.

## Personality

Solomon is a commanding man, often being quite harsh to his protégé Olivier Song, and transphobic to both Olivier and Percy Reed. He has repeatedly expressed distaste for anyone that does not follow the religious views he deems to be moral, resulting in him being homophobic, transphobic and generally unpleasant to be around.

Despite this, he does care for Percy, offering to make concessions on Percy's clothing choices and searching for him after they were separated.

## Description

Solomon is an old man with long white hair and a long white beard. He also has a pair of golden reading glasses that have a cracked lens after they were broken by Riot Maidstone when Solomon, as the Instrumentalist, attacked the Scoutpost. His eyes are green.

## History

As a young man Solomon's close friend Adam confessed his love for Solomon, but as they were both raised in heavily religious communities, Solomon reported this to the authorities which resulted in Adam being sent to conversion therapy and ultimately killing himself. Solomon felt guilty about this and went into a depression.

He then met Abigail, who took him out of his depression and they wed. They then had Percy, who they named Persephone, and Solomon began to study more at Downing Hill and the Church of the Hallowed Name which meant he was away from his home for long periods of time. During one of these periods of time, Abigail sewed Percy's lips shut and locked him in his room, leading to him starving to death after Abigail killed herself. Solomon returned home to find both of them dead, and turned them both into spirits attached to instruments. Abigail is attached to a fife that Solomon keeps in his pocket, and Percy was attached to a grand piano which was stolen from Solomon, leading him to search for it.

At some point after Abigail and Percy were turned into instruments, Solomon attended dinner at Irene Mend's house and killed her. He now lives in her home and uses her revenants as his own.

## Known Abilities

Solomon uses Solomon's Cabinet to turn people into spirits that he can attach to the instruments he crafts from their body parts - so far confirmed as skin and bones. He is able to then control these spirits and use them to hunt as the Instrumentalist.

## Trivia

* Solomon was the first character with a finalised design.
* In earlier drafts, Solomon's name was Amadeus.
The Overdue Cabin

Aka - The Fishell House

## History

Initially home to Joshua Fishell, The Overdue cabin was left abandoned after Fishell was killed by The Omen in Episode 9 - Birds for not returning a Book (specifically a spell book of Syrensyr) he borrowed from Downing Hill public library on time, He'd been using the space as a laboratory of sorts in order to either resurrect or cure a creature that he called "Darlene", of which he refers to affectionally. It is unclear what happened to Darlene after Fishell is incinerated by the Omen.

The cabin is later discovered and taken up residence in by Rick Rounds, who stays in it for an unidentified amount of time (becoming fever ridden and recovering in this time) before moving on.

## Located

The Overdue Cabin sits at the edge of a small rocky island that is in the middle of a large lake that stretches out to the horizon when viewed while standing on any given shore line. The island it's situated on being one of many other similar islands covered in trees. This lake is filled with highly contaminated Black Water. Fishell required a small row boat to get to the island with the cabin on it, but the distance is short enough that one could swim to it, as Rick does just that in Episode 44 - Rains.

## Description

The Overdue Cabin has the word "Overdue" carved into the boards of its front door. There used to be a man-eating pike that lived in the surrounding waters, but it was eaten by Big Mikey in Episode 56 - Thorns. Inside the cabin is described as small but dry with a big metal cage at the back of the room.
Tiff

**Tiff** is a high-ranking devil from The Industry who originally trained Polly and was implied to have taken Barb's eyes as punishment for "going rogue."

## Personality

Tiff was shown to have helped Polly with the assignment that he has on Earth, even offering to leave Polly's reputation unmarked by his initial failure to stop Solomon Reed. When Polly confronts him about going back, Tiff becomes angered but doesn't immediately punish him, instead implying that Polly should rethink his record and position.

## Description

Tiff is described as having grey brows and eyes that burn like "twin points of fire." When he is first introduced, he is wearing a charcoal suit, but later dresses in a tweed jacket.

## History

Not much is known about Tiff, but he is confirmed to have been someone who trained Polly, and was killed by Yaretzi. He did 4th century audits before getting a leadership position, and as the industry grew power, he, like Polly, had thoughts of running away before his boss talked him out of it. It also seems like his experiences are more similar to Polly then he admits based on what he says to him in Episode 89 - Terminations.

## Known Abilities

Tiff carries a flaming maul which he is able to use in combat.

In Episode 86 - Royalties he also possessed Rick Rounds, however the specifics of that ability are unknown.

## Trivia

* In Greek mythology, the demon Typhon attempted, and failed, to overthrow Zeus
