The town was home to the University of Darkholmes, Hexford College, St Frances Cathedral, and Chimera. Reginald Tyler lived at 199 Steps Lane. The town had an old market which "reeked of dead poultry and fresh fish". (PROSE: Fellowship of Ink)
Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
Darkholmes originated in The Housekeeper [+]Loading...["The Housekeeper (comic story)"], an unlicensed comic story written by Paul Magrs and published within a 2010 issue of VWOORP! VWOORP! magazine. The comic asserts that the village where Nest Cottage was located - which at that point had appeared unnamed in the Hornets' Nest series - was named "Darkholmes". The village remained unnamed in Demon Quest but received "Hexford" as its name in Serpent Crest. Fellowship of Ink referenced this by having Hexford College as a location in Darkholmes. The second story of Serpent Crest, The Broken Crown, mentions Darkholmes as being a neighbouring village to Hexford.
