The Black Swamp

Original article: Black Swamp

The Black Swamp in central Aurea is a long stretch of swampy forest between Waldavia and southern Murgosia. The humans who live in the Black Swamp refer to themselves as Szarne and speak a dialect of Murgosh that is almost incomprehensible to the Murgosh themselves. The Szarne tend to be highly territorial and superstitious, though few have reason to risk the mires of the Black Swamp to bother them overmuch.

The Bleak Bog

Original article: Bleak Bog

The frozen Bleak Bog is a large peat bog on the northern coast of Aurea, between the dwarven colony of Schweinholz and The Plains of Tazgrat. The treacherous bog tends to be avoided even by the orcs, as unstable ground and quicksand are common in the summer months and, during the winter, the uneven ice is often just as unpredictable. There are legends of the ruins of a partially-submerged city deep in the bog, perhaps the mythical city of Uz that, according to Gael legend, kidnapped a mermaid princess and was flooded by mer magic in retaliation.

Sashenta Swamp

Original article: Sashenta Swamp

Despite its presence in the heart of the Old Empire, the Sashenta Swamp has long been the home of tribes of lizard men who are usually content to live out their existence quietly in the depths of the wet forests of the swamp. As the area has no real natural resources, even today the humans of Karony and Camaria tend to avoid Sashenta. Recently, however, there are rumors of a pirate haven somewhere in the twisting maze of rivers, peopled by humans and lizardfolk who choose to co-exist for mutual profit. There have even been reports of lizardfolk from the swamp serving as sailors on Camarian pirate vessels, though these rumors might be little more than propaganda spun by the Karons.
