Brookhollow is a small village (200 souls) situated in the sunset shadow of the Western mountains. It lies on the banks of the Swylk River, a minor stream that leads east from the mountains through the Cairn Hills, which then joins the larger Pale River.

West and north of BrookHollow lie the Dankwoods, a source of dark, hard, prime lumber. Most of the local economy is based on loggers felling timber and floating it down the river to the Dyvers Lumber company in Kepple.
