This old swamp spans several miles in every direction and is home to many deadly plants and monsters. Most prominently: The troll. But still humans settled between the large trees, swampy lakes and muddy land. And pretty succesfull. In this Part of the swamp are several settlements of diffrent sizes and prosperety. But settling in a monster infested swamp creates many problems. The land is too wet for most traditional forms of farming and too shallow above the ground water to burry the dead. And we don't even have to talk about the problems monster tend to create. Yet the peoplk who live here have found solutions to these pesky problems and flourished in their own ways. Atleast till now. A new plague has infested other parts of the swamps followed by uprisings and sightings of otherworldy monstrosities to which even a dire troll looks miniscule. Now cultish activities in this part of the swamp have alarmed the local authorities to send for help to investigate all these alarming developments and to end them if possible. The common people however rumor about a connection of all these events and that it won't be long until most places will be empty, the inhabitants eather eaten or killed by the plague.
