Stagnant Paradise

The water here is foul, and most of the vegetation is damp and humid from the thick trees that hang over the grass that grows along the waters edge. The water is a greenish brown, and stagnant. Many insects and parasites make these dank waters their home. Fish and strange creatures; predators make their home within the murky depths. Any person with a morbid facination for death and disease would find this to be paradise. Drinking the water here could make you sick, and tred lightly, watch for sink holes these lands are dangerous. One may end up sinking into the dark depths to their depth. This is the only large body of water within Shakael, surrounded by dry, deadly terrain at every direction beyond the swamp's borders.
