* Shelby's 15th episode ends with her waking up in her bed... not in her bedroom, but deep in the Evermoore, which she discovers in [[WhamEpisode her following episode]] that it's near the ''heart'' of the place. There, she finds a ''lifeless'' patch of mushroom-ground, an old Nether portal in dismal condition tucked away in a corner, with a sign attached, "We're in here, [[CallBack Shrub]]. Come find us."
** Immediately after this, Shelby has a brief [[https://twitter.com/shelbygraced/status/1601295342405705729 vision]] of a scream-filled land, engulfed with flames, as what appears to be Xornoth terrorizing the place. Not only are the screams of fear [[JumpScare loud and sudden]], but it establishes how truly ''horrifying'' the eradication of the Gnomes were.
** From her vision, Shelby proposes a theory that the heart of the Evermoore used to be the Gnomes' homeland, and the Fog arose from the souls of those who perished in the disaster that struck it, or as we'd know, Xornoth's "reign" of terror. She suggests that the angrier souls were what possessed Cubfan into spreading Darkness... implying that such anger has persisted for literally over a thousand years, and is willing to corrupt innocent souls into spreading the despondency of losing their light, home, and hope.

** While conducting a thorough search for spirits in the mangrove swamp, Cub eventually claims to have "an unmistakable feeling of dread", as though [[StalkerWithoutACrush someone]] were not just watching his movements, but waiting for him and ''expecting'' his arrival.

--->'''Cub:''' The last thing I remember was being paralyzed by fear, as I was consumed by the Fog itself.
** Throughout all this, the Fog initially sounds like wind at late night, ultimately a relatively innocent and unassuming sound, but when [[PaintingTheMedium the screen entirely fades to cyan]], there are some almost-bestial hissing and scraping noises, and by the time the sounds reduce back to hollow wind-like noises, the Fog has cleared... and Cub is ''covered'' in Sculk tendrils, with eyes the colour of Echo Shards (or of the Fog at its thickest), acting like everything was fine and dandy. That's not even going into [[VoiceOfTheLegion the deep reverb of his voice]] after this:
--->'''Unknown:''' As we claimed our newest soul, the soul was given two tasks, spread the Souls, and spread the Sculk. With these two tasks anchored in the mind, the Fog was lifted, and the path forward became clear. Unleash Darkness upon the empires, and let the Sun shine upon the Deep Dark once more. ''(EvilLaugh)''
** The fact that the entire segment is told from a third-person, narrated perspective is already disturbing enough as it is, as it provides ''a degree of distance'' from the events that Cub has gone through. Now, imagine going through all that up close and personal.

* The backstory behindScott's {{Supernatural Gold Eye|s}} is, quite frankly speaking, disturbing as hell.
** During the {{flashback}} sequence, he explains that he once raided an ancient temple for a famed jeweled skull that had two gemstones for eyes, but when he actually ''found'' the thing, it only had ''one'', contrary to his sources. Were the sources wrong? Did something ''happen'' to the skull or the temple over time? Knowing many adventurers have tried to seek it, it might ''have''.

*** He spends the next several ''years'' trying to reverse this, and is more than happy to have the skull taken off his hands by some random old wizard in the woods on the condition that it can be reversed at all.

* Xornoth, just, in general. He's incredibly powerful, with total command over the Corruption, and uses those powers to make the lives of everyone around him ''hell''. His appearance doesn't help matters either, his skin is black and scaly with bright purple or red marks, he's got a permanent SlasherSmile, a pair of [[HornsOfVillainy massive spiked horns]], and his voice is [[EvilSoundsDeep incredibly deep]] [[VoiceOfTheLegion and distorted]].
** He's specifically ruthless in his torment of Shrub, from killing her, to siccing mobs on her, to killing one of her wolves and leaving its head in her house for her to find, to filling the Undergrove with Corruption, to taunting her with the fact that her people are all dead and gone. Shrub is absolutely ''terrified'' of him, and he's shown to relish in that fact.
** There's a more subtle horror in the fact that Xornoth was not always like this. In fact, as Scott's Season 1 finale showed, before he got corrupted he was a completely normal elf who liked to tease his younger brother and was working to prove he was a worthy heir to the throne. It's unclear what exactly happened to him to transform him, both physically and mentally, into a sadistic OmnicidalManiac who looks more draconic than elven, but it cannot have been pretty.
* Scott's ice powers. Everything he touches freezes over permanently, and he has ''zero'' control over them. His attitude towards them slowly goes from nonchalantly ignoring the slowly building snow and ice, to a slow OhCrap as even the embassies he was building start to freeze over, to locking himself up in his own home as every body of water in Rivendell has turned to ice and he realizes he could ''seriously'' hurt someone without meaning to, to desperately begging Gem for help once ice spikes start growing out of control all over his kingdom.
** Special mention to the scene with Gem. Scott approaches her at the end of his rope, asking her to help him control his powers. Gem tries to help him, but because she doesn't understand Scott's magic or his mental state, she just takes him to a pool of water, gets him to freeze it, and then demands over and over that he try to thaw it, even after he tells her he ''can't'' thaw it and wants to stop. Eventually Scott snaps and yells at Gem... [[PsychoactivePowers which triggers a massive blast of ice, freezing the entire hall and seriously hurting Gem in the process]]. Scott is horrified and runs away, and Gem tries to give chase... But she can barely walk, and resorts to weakly calling after Scott as he flies off.
** Becomes worse when you remember the prophecy of Aeor and Exor... Specifically the part about Xornoth ''bringing eternal winter'' if he and Exor weren't defeated. Either the prophecy has some serious errors in it, or Xornoth isn't as defeated as he seemed...
* The Rune Blade. A magical sword that, when used to kill someone, has the power to ''tear their soul out of their body'', and send them to an afterlife of the wielder's choosing. It could be used to guarantee a dying loved one a peaceful end... or to send an enemy to the worst pits of hell you can imagine. Scott is understandably ''horrified'' at the fact that he now has this sword, and hides it behind his bed in the hopes nobody will find it.
!!Season 2
* From the start of the series, the fact that ''the Deep Dark biome'' is located under about half of the empires' territory, with it even being directly visible from [=fWhip=]'s underground empire. The Deep Dark and the mob it entails is already one of the scariest (if not ''the'' scariest) aspects of the 1.19 Wild Update, but the fact that it's practically ''right under half the server's homes'' makes it even more disturbing.
** Adding onto this, an Ancient City is located almost directly under Gem's empire near a patch of the Deep Dark, and when Gem goes adventuring there with Jimmy in her second episode during a mining trip, ''they accidentally spawn in [[InstakillMook the Warden itself]]''... while neither of them are even ''remotely'' prepared to fight it, only having basic iron tools. Gem calling this "the worst mining trip ever" doesn't even ''begin'' to cover it, and it's only by pure luck that they manage to get away without dying.
The Empires SMP has its fair share of NightmareFuel, especially as the series gets darker as it goes on.
!!Season 1
* Xornoth, just, in general. He's incredibly powerful, with total command over the Corruption, and uses those powers to make the lives of everyone around him ''hell''. His appearance doesn't help matters either, his skin is black and scaly with bright purple or red marks, he's got a permanent SlasherSmile, a pair of [[HornsOfVillainy massive spiked horns]], and his voice is [[EvilSoundsDeep incredibly deep]] [[VoiceOfTheLegion and distorted]].
** He's specifically ruthless in his torment of Shrub, from killing her, to siccing mobs on her, to killing one of her wolves and leaving its head in her house for her to find, to filling the Undergrove with Corruption, to taunting her with the fact that her people are all dead and gone. Shrub is absolutely ''terrified'' of him, and he's shown to relish in that fact.
** There's a more subtle horror in the fact that Xornoth was not always like this. In fact, as Scott's Season 1 finale showed, before he got corrupted he was a completely normal elf who liked to tease his younger brother and was working to prove he was a worthy heir to the throne. It's unclear what exactly happened to him to transform him, both physically and mentally, into a sadistic OmnicidalManiac who looks more draconic than elven, but it cannot have been pretty.
