"There is a place set aside from here, where few men have walked, or at least lived to tell of it. It is always there, shadowing our every-day world, running beside it, in places entwining with it, in others spiraling out way beyond reach. To find it a man must be strong. Not just of body but of mind and spirit. He must be resolute and steadfast. For to reach it he must tread the path of Shade and Sorrow."
"That Path is frought with danger, for it is a dark and sinister path between worlds. A path stalked by ages-old things that harbour dark intent. They were guardians of that realm, set there once upon a time to dissuade and discourage, to cause those who embark to turn back before they reached their goal."
"But time has changed them, and the guard has become hunter, not now a dissuader but a devourer. Of flesh, of bone, of the souls of those who set out upon the Path of shade and sorrow."
"Of them little is known, save lines from aged tales and the lore of the common folk. Fleet and shifting, eyes aflame, a shadow in the shadows. Relentless, hungry, never seen, a darkness within the dark."
"Think now twice, before you contemplate the Path of Shade and Sorrow. Think thrice, if you must, but heed me, and turn from your madness, before they turn madness upon you"
