'''Hornhollow''' is a village in [[Sadeas princedom]] close to [[Hearthstone]]. It is part of the [[Akanny]] region - a prized farming area that supplies grain, meat and other provisions for large portions of [[Alethkar]].{{book ref|sa3|10}} Hornhollow would be considered a fairly large town by the local standards and has a small militia.{{book ref|sa3|10}} It resides on the Highprince's lands and the surrounding area is worked by high ranking darkeyes.{{book ref|sa3|10}}
The village lies in a depression, protected from the [[Highstorm]] by a large hill to the east.{{book ref|sa3|10}} Within the town are approximately two dozen structures, including two storm sanctuaries that can be used by passing travellers to shelter from the storms. There are also many structures nearby that don't reside within the village proper.{{book ref|sa3|10}} In the centre of the town is a cistern used to collect and filter rainwater.{{book ref|sa3|10}}
==History==
[[Kaladin]] visited the town after leaving Hearthstone and discovered that one of the village's grain stores had been attacked by the runaway [[singer]]s. The villagers had been expecting Kaladin and were prepared for his arrival, hoping for information and the chance to increase their riches. The Brightlord of the town was disappointed when he was unable to trade two [[spheres|dun chips]] for one full of [[stormlight]] as some of the previous villages had been able too.{{book ref|sa3|10}}
One of the village [[ardent]]s estimated that the town's grain supplies were attacked by approximately fifty singers, who left very little behind. The amount of grain lost should have been able to sustain the village through until the next harvest.{{book ref|sa3|10}} The villagers reported seeing a number of strange red lights, but were unsure as to whether these lights were coming from the singer's eyes or from another source.{{book ref|sa3|10}} The village trapper, reported to Kaladin that the group of singers had been heading towards [[Kholinar]] after they left Hornhollow.
