Once a dense southern forest, the land was razed and drowned by orc industry, leaving behind the Great Swamp — a choking mire of mud, stagnant water, and rot. The swamp teems with giant carnivorous insects, venomous serpents, and towering swamp trolls that rise from the muck to drag prey below. The swamp is fed by the refuse of Ironspine, whose filth and slag wash down from the crags above, blackening its waters.
