Send frostling a PM notification explaining the badness of natter: natter-fy

Little improvements to grammar and clarity.

Changed line(s) 1,4 (click to see context) from:

* The entire premise and backstory could count. Fighting off extremely powerful demons that devour people's souls, leaving them as insane husks? The fact that there is no god, and hence, if you die, your soul is left behind, laying there until either the PC picks it up, or a demon eats it? How about how Boletaria, the setting's kingdom, is being devoured by a colorless fog that continues to slowly and inexorably spread until it covers the world, filling it with demons? Hell, even most of the areas are NightmareFuel.
* The Tower of Latria is terrifying. The backstory is the tower used to be a place of learning, lead by a king and a queen. The queen exiled her husband, [[spoiler: who later returned as the Old Monk, and filled the place with demons, likely killing his wife]]. The new leader, the Old Monk, lies to the prisoners by offering them a false idol to worship. Said idol is a demon. Apparently, the Old Monk has also become an EldritchAbomination, because his freaking heart can be seen clinging to the tower.
* The Prison of Hope is guarded by eerie, octopus-headed people ringing bells. They kill you by first stunning you, then leisurely pacing over to you and sucking out your brains while you get to watch. The inmates are all insane; at best, they gibber annoyingly and get in the way. At worst, they try to kill you if you let them out. One careless step can send you into the abyss. Oh, and there's a ball of mashed-together corpses on the first floor.
* The Tower City is almost worse. First, you walk in constant fear of falling off the crumbling towers into the blackness below, but if you keep your eyes on where you put your feet, you won't spot the black gargoyles against the black-green spider-webbed sky as they swoop down towards you. The enormous, beating heart in the central tower doesn't help the ambiance at all. Then, you find a cage-lift to the ground, and you'd celebrate except you're now knee-deep in a swamp of blood with enormous tentacles reaching out of it and it's full of giant, poison-spewing centipedes that try to kill you. Giant poison-spewing centipedes with several screaming human faces each, naturally.

The new leader, the Old Monk, lies to the prisoners by offering them a false idol to worship. Said idol is a demon. Apparently, the Old Monk has also become an EldritchAbomination, because his hugely swollen heart can be seen clinging to the tower; when you arrive at his room, you discover that he has been dominated and drained body and soul by his Yellow Robes, a demonic artefact much too powerful for him, which leave his dry husk to fight you as a Black Phantom.
