Swamps on Aurea
The 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.
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.
