The Farsea Swamp—also known as the Farsea Marshes—is a vast and disease-ridden expanse of wetlands in the western reaches of Cormyr’s frontier. Bordered by the Storm Horns to the east, the Sunset Mountains and Far Hills to the west, and what remains of the dry Tunlands to the south, the swamp sprawls across the lowland basin once home to a forgotten civilization predating Netheril. Formed in the wake of the Era of Upheaval by the merging of the original Farsea Marshes and the Marsh of Tun, the swamp now feeds the Tun River, which flows south into the Dragonmere. While shrouded in pestilence and mystery, the swamp has sustained a patchwork of hardy settlements and outlaws, as well as ancient secrets buried deep in its sodden depths. With few safe roads and fewer laws, it is a place where legends sleep and dangers fester—and only the desperate or the daring dare enter.

A sea of black water, yellow-green reeds, and drowned forests with twisted, moss-draped trees half-submerged in stagnant pools. The air is heavy with moisture, mildew, rot, and swamp gas, filled with biting insects, eerie bird calls, and thick mist crawling over boggy trails under a gloomy, torch-lit night sky.
