Such is the reach of this eldtrich horror that the inhabitants of the Hamlet will appear momentarily disfigured in similar fashion to the Darkest Dungeon fiends after the first mission is completed. It is the being that is revered by the cultists and priests of the Darkest Dungeon who have, under the influence of this cosmic power, become distorted and now bear resemblance to Cthulian entities of multiple jaws and tentacle appendages. As per Lovecraftian Lore, it is a slumbering, ethereal and omnipresent deity that manifested through your Ancestor's misdeeds, who in the process became a vessel of the creature himself. The Heart of Darkness represents the embodiment of the mystical forces that were responsible for the corruption of the Hamlet and its surroundings.
