The first few hours of my run were in complete darkness, and not because of the night. The reason was I used 'Eyes of the Void' to avoid slamming into a rock formation because of lack of light.
Illuminating my path was out of the question because I didn't want to let guards find out about me out there, and also not alarm the monsters. Especially not the ghosts.
I was quite fast actually, but not at full sprint since I also wanted to avoid noise.
And then the night passed and the day started, showing me a terrible view of a catastrophe that devastated this land. Scarred earth with the bones protruding out in a form of jagged, sharp fangs of rock, reaching high. Sometimes a few meters, some times more. The worst were crevasses under my feet that I had to avoid.
Everything was gray and dark. Lifeless. With dust thrown into the air by occasional wind.
