It can taint the purest of hearts, twisting noble intentions into selfish desires. Valiant souls, driven by ideals and a thirst for glory, may find themselves ensnared by this corrupting influence. The allure of power, wealth, or even mere fame can prove too potent to resist, leading them down a treacherous path fraught with peril and moral perplexities.

The consequences of succumbing to greed can be devastating. It breeds mistrust among comrades, fostering envy and animosity.
