Features and Overview
The Drablands are described as a world filled with dangerous enemies and obstacles. It features many lands of various regions, including woodlands, riversides, volcanoes, ice caverns, and deserts. It is the domain of The Lady, also known as the Drablands witch. The Drablands can only be entered through the Triforce Gateway in Hytopia Castle, and only a trio of chosen heroes may venture through it.
