No normal person wanted to go to the Dark Lands, as everyone knew that it would only lead to death in most cases, and there was really no reason to go here.
Of course, by entering the dangerous territory and surviving, one could become much stronger and more capable, but it was definitely not worth the risk of death which was great. There were other ways to become stronger than going into the most unknown and chaotic part of the continent.
However, all of this only mattered to those who were followers of the Fate, which was most, but not all, though Order had spent years trying to fix that.
Those who supported Chaos, who had their own reasons for following this force that was a confrontation to the Fate, went to the Dark Lands.
Sometimes, they were just idiots who died in the first few hours they stepped onto the secret paths that led to the Dark Lands.
