A thick, grey mist clings to the twisted roots and thorned undergrowth of the Gloomwood as you steps across the boundary of shattered markers. The air turns knife-cold, stealing warmth from the skin. Shadows stretch and warp, gathering into silent, watching shapes. A weight settles—a predatory attention that fixes on the intruder. Entry has been noted; retreat is no longer a promise.
