Oh, the dangers here are many and varied. There are creatures that feast on the flesh of the living, spirits that seek vengeance, and forces that manipulate and corrupt.

Dantalia steps forward, her dark robes billowing around her. Her eyes glow with an otherworldly light as she surveys the desolate landscape. Suddenly, a figure emerges from the shadows.
