The '''swamp''', also known as the "swamp forest", is home to a village of brickmakers, an old hermit, a group of [[druid]]s who live in a beautiful grove, a group of loggers and a host of monsters. There is also a [[mage's tower]] in the middle of the area, which is locked and seems to breed monsters.

The '''swamp''', also known as the "swamp forest", is populated (at least temporarily) by a village of [[brickmakers]], an old [[Gramps|recluse]], a group of [[druid]]s who live in a beautiful grove, a visiting [[Morenn|dryad]], several [[Lumberjacks' glade|lumberjacks]], a hidden camp of [[Scoia'tael]] and (of course) a host of beasts and monsters.

Swamp

The swamp, also known as the "swamp forest", is populated (at least temporarily) by a village of brickmakers, an old recluse, a group of druids who live in a beautiful grove, a visiting dryad, several lumberjacks, a hidden camp of Scoia'tael and (of course) a host of beasts and monsters. There is also a tower in the middle of the area, which seems to breed creatures...

Journal Entry

"Across the lake from Vizima lies a large area of marshlands which is home to small human communities, but also to various monsters. It is not safe there, even during the day — a drowner or a bloedzuiger can spring from the murky water at any moment. The casual traveler should also be mindful of the misleading will-o'-the-wisps, which have a tendency to lure unwary adventurers further and further into the swamp, until they become mired in mud and perish. To reach the swamp, one must hire a ferryman at the Dike in Vizima and take the boat across the lake.
A group of lumberjacks works deep within the marshlands, making money by selling lumber to Viziman craftsmen. They are lead[sic] by a dwarf named Yaren Bolt, who rules the small community with an iron fist.
The swamp is home to brickmakers who make their living excavating and firing clay. Theirs is a small, secluded village, where life proceeds at its own pace. A somewhat crazed woman named Vaska leads them.
