A Spectral hive is a breeding ground and hideout for Spectres. Hives are used to create more Spectres, give injured ones a place to hide, hold and torture ghostly prisoners, and to establish unease and hostility in the living world by their mere presence. Since then, hives have sprung up around the world, usually in places that are already full of decay and dark intent. The presence of a hive usually forces the area into further decline; violence increases, sensitive residents move or commit suicide, and crime runs rampant, all making for future Spectres and hive fodder.

| - A Spectral hive is a breeding ground and hideout for Spectres. Hives are used to create more Spectres, give injured ones a place to hide, hold and torture ghostly prisoners, and to establish unease and hostility in the living world by their mere presence. Early Spectral hives were little more than places where Spectres gathered; they offered little protection or aid, and while they had a detrimental effect on the area around them, it was only a minimal impact. All that changed the night that over two hundred pigment addicts died en masse because of a batch of pigment tainted with strychnine. Spectres hurried to gather these hapless souls, and after midnight, destroyed them all at the same time. The massive wave of Spite that resulted ripped open the Stormwall and allowed a horrid pustule of Spectral matter to cross and form the first major hive in Mayfair Greens. Since then, hives have sprung up around the world, usually in places that are already full of decay and dark intent. The presence of a hive usually forces the area into further decline; violence increases, sensitive residents move or commit suicide, and crime runs rampant, all making for future Spectres and hive fodder.
