The Lurker at the Threshold

The Lurker at the Threshold is a concept from fantasy role-playing games, like Dungeons & Dragons. It refers to a mysterious, often unseen force or entity lurking just beyond the characters' perception, representing potential danger or secrets waiting to be uncovered. This lurking presence can create tension and anticipation, as players or characters sense that something unseen is watching or about to emerge. It embodies the idea of an unknown threat or mystery that influences the story’s atmosphere while remaining hidden, challenging adventurers to be cautious and curious about what lies just out of sight.
