Description

The Mere of Dead Men—known in Elvish as Merdelain, the “Slow Marching Court”—is a vast, fog-drenched saltwater swamp along the Sword Coast North, nestled between the cities of Waterdeep and Neverwinter. Created in 615 DR when the lich Iniarv flooded the land to repel an orc invasion, the Mere swallowed the ancient kingdoms of Uthtower and Yarlith, leaving behind a haunted, waterlogged expanse. Its fog-choked waters, flooded ruins, and magical instability make it one of Faerûn’s most cursed landscapes. The region teems with black dragons, trolls, lizardfolk, bullywugs, and the undead—all drawn to its latent necromantic energy. Notable among its dark history is the reign of the dracolich Chardansearavitriol (Ebondeath), and the manipulations of twin black dragons Voaraghamanthar and Waervaerendor. The Cult of the Dragon, ruined sects of Myrkul, and lingering undead still haunt the mire’s depths, their ambitions buried in muck and memory.

Appearance

The swamp is shrouded in creeping mist, with gnarled trees, moss-covered ruins, and bone-strewn shallows. Dark, brackish waters are choked with algae and twisted roots, with hanging vines over half-sunken keeps and shattered roads. The air is thick with rot and insect buzz, and constant fog limits visibility, while the swamp feels alive and watchful, making travel perilous.
