The roads in this wilderness wind through a countryside overrun with terrible monsters, foul beastmen, and other horrors. Any stand of trees might shelter a band of brigands. The burned-out hulks of farmhouses and abandoned carriages offer testimony to what happens to those who fail to take sufficient precautions when they cross the gloomy countryside.

Others might depend on something more sinister to protect themselves.
