''Northold Hollows'' was born as a starter base carved straight into the side of a snowy taiga hill. The site was surprisingly unoccupied, considering it borders {{Player|xcoffeequeenx}} to the east and [[Chaincastle Station]] to the west. In its earliest days, the location was originally intended as a starter branch mine but was later reconsidered upon the discovery of four cave spider spawners and an urgent need for an xp grinder. | ''Northold Hollows'' was born as a starter base carved straight into the side of a snowy taiga hill.

==Architecture== | |||
Premeditated on a 'modern mineshaft' concept, it was later deemed as artistically limiting after the first two rooms were built. Later expansion saw the base designed in various architectural styles while maintaining a mix of Beaux-Arts style, with decorative Renaissance and Neoclassical cues throughout, and a rustic contemporary theme to anchor them with the ''Hollow''’s early modern builds. | |||

Situated at the heart of an abandoned mineshaft, the ''Hollows'' encloses a claimed area of 12,284 blocks (148 by 83 blocks) with a further six unclaimed blocks cardinally around it, except to the east, constituting the entirety of ''Northold'' — land under direct influence of {{Player|eybwam}} and reserved for future underground expansion. Deliberately orientated with its longest side parallel to Beagle SRN North Line, it would have dominated a stretch of aboveground land for preservation. | Situated at the heart of an abandoned mineshaft, the ''Hollows'' encloses a claimed area of 12,284 blocks (148 by 83 blocks) with a further six unclaimed blocks cardinally around it, except to the east, constituting the entirety of ''Northold'' — land under direct influence of {{Player|eybwam}} and reserved for future underground expansion.

== | The ''Hollows'' boasts 54 unique rooms laid out across three floors. The first two floors contain the Tableau which houses the Willow Rock situated at the very center of the base and is the earliest built part of the ''Hollows''.

====First Floor==== | |||
The principal areas of the ''Hollows'' include the three-floor storage room, the smelter area and armory, the Tableau, the Ingress Foyer, the Ore Atrium, Zac Hall, and Summer Residence (located on the third floor), together with areas devoted to farms and trading halls, such as Xenocrates Court and Hermittwt Chamber, respectively. | |||

Designed to be ill-lit and intimidating, the ''Ingress Foyer'' serves as the primary reception area from visitors entering via the nether. It features a diamond-centered chandelier suspended from a domed smooth sandstone ceiling, accented by the light cyan tone of stripped warped stem. Flanked by black stained glass floors and basalt columns, a sandstone path emerges from the tetrastyle portico framing the main nether portal to lay out the arrangement of entry into the Ore Atrium and Tableau. | Designed to be ill-lit and intimidating, the ''Ingress Foyer'' serves as the primary reception area from visitors entering via the nether.

The ''Atrium'' was built to pay homage to ''eybwam'''s first mined ores in Dogcraft. It’s described by ''eybwam'' as ‘so far the closest ''Northold'' gets to lavish memorial services’'''⁽ᵃ⁾'''. Two rows of four embedded dark oak wood columns line the width of the ''Atrium'' and are richly decorated at the base. Wall portraits made from various ores and glazed terracotta complete what has been described as a ‘tour de force of Minecraft decoration’. | The ''Atrium'' was built to pay homage to ''eybwam'''s first mined ores in Dogcraft.

Construction of the room has countlessly been delayed due to ‘indecisiveness over farm design’ — between an automated one or a manual xp farm. The farm had to be finalized first before construction of the room even began.

Aside from associating red with xenocrates32, the warm palette filled with red shades was chosen by ''eybwam'' to also offset the room's softer colours. | Construction of the room has countlessly been delayed due to ‘indecisiveness over farm design’ — between an automated one or a manual xp farm.

eybwam
Northold Hollows, or the Hollows, is the subterranean Survival 4 residence of 
eybwam on the Dogcraft Server. It was founded on the 5th of November 2020 in a snowy taiga hills biome about 2,900 blocks north of Camp Beagle.
Foundation and Early History
Northold Hollows was born as a starter base carved straight into the side of a snowy taiga hill. The site was surprisingly unoccupied, considering it borders 
xcoffeequeenx to the east and Chaincastle Station to the west. In its earliest days, the location was originally intended as a starter branch mine but was later reconsidered upon the discovery of four cave spider spawners and an urgent need for an xp grinder.
Architecture
Premeditated on a 'modern mineshaft' concept, it was later deemed as artistically limiting after the first two rooms were built. Later expansion saw the base designed in various architectural styles while maintaining a mix of Beaux-Arts style, with decorative Renaissance and Neoclassical cues throughout, and a rustic contemporary theme to anchor them with the Hollow’s early modern builds.
Layout
Situated at the heart of an abandoned mineshaft, the Hollows encloses a claimed area of 12,284 blocks (148 by 83 blocks) with a further six unclaimed blocks cardinally around it, except to the east, constituting the entirety of Northold — land under direct influence of eybwam and reserved for future underground expansion. Deliberately orientated with its longest side parallel to Beagle SRN North Line, it would have dominated a stretch of aboveground land for preservation.
The Hollows boasts 54 unique rooms laid out across three floors. The first two floors contain the Tableau which houses the Willow Rock situated at the very center of the base and is the earliest built part of the Hollows. Willow Rock is a three by three polished blackstone slab that serves as the splat point for the mob farm 27 blocks above. Encircling the Tableau is a variety of rooms connected by the Vintage Corridors, an enclosure of hallways. The Vintage Corridors connecting the principal areas display a collection of Cyberdog-given items that eybwam kept as mementos. Although there were several phases of expansion after its foundation, the general layout has remained the same.
First Floor
The principal areas of the Hollows include the three-floor storage room, the smelter area and armory, the Tableau, the Ingress Foyer, the Ore Atrium, Zac Hall, and Summer Residence (located on the third floor), together with areas devoted to farms and trading halls, such as Xenocrates Court and Hermittwt Chamber, respectively.
Ingress Foyer
Designed to be ill-lit and intimidating, the Ingress Foyer serves as the primary reception area from visitors entering via the nether. It features a diamond-centered chandelier suspended from a domed smooth sandstone ceiling, accented by the light cyan tone of stripped warped stem. Flanked by black stained glass floors and basalt columns, a sandstone path emerges from the tetrastyle portico framing the main nether portal to lay out the arrangement of entry into the Ore Atrium and Tableau.
Ore Atrium
The Atrium was built to pay homage to eybwam's first mined ores in Dogcraft. It’s described by eybwam as ‘so far the closest Northold gets to lavish memorial services’⁽ᵃ⁾. Two rows of four embedded dark oak wood columns line the width of the Atrium and are richly decorated at the base. Wall portraits made from various ores and glazed terracotta complete what has been described as a ‘tour de force of Minecraft decoration’.
Xenocrates Court
Named after 
xenocrates32, Xenocrates (zen-ock-kra-teez) Court stores the string collected from the cave spider farm situated behind it.
Construction of the room has countlessly been delayed due to ‘indecisiveness over farm design’ — between an automated one or a manual xp farm. The farm had to be finalized first before construction of the room even began. In mid-November 2020, xenocrates32 asked eybwam if they could use the farm’s output to supplement their gaming district’s demand for wool⁽ᵇ⁾. From there, the farm saw multiple reworks before settling on an automatic cactus-trap design. A striped tone to tone wall bathes the room to create a cohesive yet cozy feeling within the space. Aside from associating red with xenocrates32, the warm palette filled with red shades was chosen by eybwam to also offset the room's softer colours.
Hermittwt Chamber
Hermittwt Chamber, named after the unofficial Hermitcraft Twitter fandom, functioned as the venue for cartographer trading until the construction of a new dedicated cartographer trading room. It features a patterned floor and barrel vault ceiling supported by decorative endstone columns. The walls of the chamber consist of vertical alternating stripes of clay and light blue terracotta, and are decorated with a gallery of maps, including those of the City of Alina and Camp Beagle’s. A floor-to-ceiling fireplace is the chamber’s centerpiece, with Northold’s coat-of-arms resting on its mantel. The Chamber serves as the lobby for the six villager trading rooms in the Hollows:

Secret Rooms
The Hollows is home to many secret, often publicly inaccessible rooms. These rooms range from private vaults, redstone maintenance areas to eybwam's hiding/escape rooms. Some players may build one upon eybwam's request. A notable one from these requested rooms was made by 
strawberrysham and 
zacattack2097.
Accessibility
Northold Hollows can be accessed via the Nether Transport Network or through /phome Northold Hollows. Its nether portal is located beside North's 3,000th mark and is across the Chaincastle Station portal stop. The aboveground site can be accessed via North Line of Beagle's Survival Railway Network (Survival 4) through the Chaincastle Station.
Notes
a. Memorial service for Sidekit, eybwam's first snowy fox, was minimal despite a 21-arrow salute; tributes were borderline nonexistent.
b. Gaming District to be named. It is xenocrates32 and eybwam's work-in-progress project on the Beagle Survival World approximately located at x:2,400; z:-6,300.
c. Unofficial name. Scisyf_PB however remarked it along the lines of a 'good name'.

Gallery
Taken from second floor storage room, the cave spider spawner looms behind a wall of black glass.
Biker Yard, named after
bikerboyGR, was built to honor the namesake's generous sugarcane donations. The room is cornered between a sugarcane and a creeper farm.
Len Den features a conversation pit in front a fish tank. Displayed here are mementos from
lendog1888.
Loungie, a pormanteau of lounge and the room's namesake,
colliecolie, is a piano bar that's a step away from the Hollow's saloon.
More than a shulker's worth of enchanted elytra are displayed at Scisyf Vault's first floor.
Named after
Minda905, the Hollow's potion-brewing room is tucked under a mono-pitched ceiling.
A mini kelp farm stands along the wall behind this pass-through room .
After sporadic episodes of Fox Flu throughout May 2021, this enclosure was built to be the new 'forever home' pen of
eybwam and zacattack2097's arctic foxes.
Serving as the indoor manual tree farm, Edo Hall is unsurprisingly the Hollow's tallest room with 34 blocks of vertical space.
A potted blue orchid, one of
M_Sky3's favourite flower, is the subtle accent for this yellow-themed room serving as the Hollow's honeycomb farm.
Named after
strawberrysham, Sham Foyer is the third floor entryway. The sponge for the chandelier can be owed to 
Nonium after being asked to name a block not normally used for chandelier-making.
