Mirran Swamp

The Mirran Swamp lies south and just a little East of Rayne. This Swamp is below sea level, draining water from both the Bearns River and the Ocean. It is extremely difficult to see through the thick fog; the air itself is so thick some have claimed they have choked on it. The poisonous fumes, while not strong enough to kill you, will make you very ill for weeks to come, lingering heavily in your lungs. Somehow bandits have found a livable area within the swamp, making one of the few havens for lowlives. These bandits constantly raid nearby villages and some brave yet foolish raids have been attempted on Rayne and Bosnar. Yet, there is more to fear then bandits and alligators. When inside, an eerie feeling of being watched follows you forever. There have been countless unexplainable deaths within the Mirran Swamp. Sightings of a man like creature, who stands to be about eight feet tall and as agile as it is strong, have been reported. Many hunters have tried to get rid of this beast. Only about three have returned, though all unsuccessfully. Having the beast's head as a trophy is the dream of not only hunters, but adventures, knights, soldiers and wizards alike.
