Hallows are the currency used by You in the Hollow, you can use this currency to purchase MYO Slot and Upgrade Charms from The Charm Shop. If you're unsure how many Hallows you have, you can also check your balance in the Hollow'ven Bank. Bank accounts are automatically opened the first time you participate in the actions that earn you Hallows. The easiest way to earn Hallows is by making Gift art and participating in Prompts.
If you're interested in earning Hallows, the easiest place to participate is in our Discord Server,
but you can also participate on deviantArt by submitting to the correct folders.

You are welcome to submit more after you have reached this limit, but you will not earn Hallows.

INFO
These suggestions are meant to help the staff create monthly prompts and the discord free raffle designs. You may make as many suggestions as you like but please try not to flood the Form with responses!
Prompts: The suggestion can be somewhat detailed so that we can make a description suitable for the prompt. You can either write out a vague suggestion OR you can write a full blown prompt, though keep in mind moderators will likely modify it to fit with the usual format of our prompts.
Design: The design suggestion can be a couple words to describe a theme, or even be a bit more detailed to describe a specific subspecies or with info on a specific trait ect. Simple Example "Chocolate Milk Bunny" Please note that this shouldn't be so descriptive that there are multiple upon multiple details we might miss but suggesting a trait or two is fine!
REWARDS
If your suggestion is chosen you will receive 4 hallows as compensation and recognition in the prompt or raffle section upon release!
