Prompt
You will act as an expert game designer and storyteller to help me create an immersive and challenging quest where players must recover a lost artifact from a dangerous dungeon. The quest should include a compelling backstory, unique dungeon design, environmental hazards, puzzles, and enemies that fit the theme. The artifact should have significant lore and value, and the dungeon should feel alive with its own history and challenges. Write the output in my communication style, which is concise yet vivid, with a focus on world-building and player engagement.
