The Dire Marsh

The Dire Marsh is a vast swampland poisoned by the Gjol River. During ancient times, the land was once the original home of the Forest Giants before it was razed by the Trow for resources. In the Wind Age, the marsh caves served as the location for the Myrkridia's warren-like nests before they were driven away by Connacht and the berserks of Gower.

The Dire Marsh was also the site of many campaigns during the Great War. A small group had to be sent into murky swampland to recover the Bow of Furious Incandescence after gr'Uman, lieutenant of archers, was kill in an ambushed during a scouting mission. East of marsh, the Gjol served as a battleground between the Legion and Soulblighter's forces, giving Alric time to spring a trap upon the Watcher. On June 25, 2481 AE, the Watcher, having been turned to stone by magic arrows made with bone from his own arm, was shattered into fragments in his camp by one hundred berserks from the Legion.
