The chief threat in the domain of Dementlieu is Dominic D'Honaire and the fell influence he has on the domain through his Obedient. Other supernatural threats are less frequent in Dementlieu than many other domains. Most that do show up have unique modus operandi and may be even considered one of a kind. Others are shapechangers or otherwise able to blend into Dementlieuse society, such as dread dopplegangers, impersonators, and even phasms. Vengeful incorporeal undead, such as wraiths and odem)s, are not unknown either.[2]
Reavers and sahuagin are said to favor Sable Bay and Pernault Bay for finding prey.[3]

Weather
