Arlain for, 'The Den of the Path Before', it is more commonly called, 'The Great Hollow' and is considered to be the entry portal through which the first humans - and gods - arrived on Arlok. The concept of a 'Path Before' is deeply rooted in the religions of the ancient Dichotome peoples, and is synonymous with their creation theory. The Great Hollow represents the entry into the mortal world from a previous heavenly realm; a state of pre-existence that humans cannot remember but norsaks can.

In the opening episode of ' Den and the Wolves ', the Great Hollow is introduced as a grand mountainous temple within the Northern HIghlands where the 81 wolves rule over Arlok. One travels through the snow to the Great Hollow to plead for her brother's life. Inside, she meets the 81 wolves and they collectively place a curse of immortality on Other using bloodstones, so that One too will survive long enough to fulfill her unknown destiny. The wolves watch over Arlok and those who inhabit their realm through 'Ra-irla nir Eceo,' or 'The Pool on top of the World.'

After gaining immortality also, One turns against the 81 wolves and usurps them from their thrones within the Great Hollow. She crowns herself a god, and remains inside the Great Hollow for many millennia, until her twin brother, Other, arrives to end her reign.
