Gloomfen is a vast and treacherous swamp that stretches across a significant portion of the Nyvara wetlands. No major cities exist here due to the hazardous conditions and the swamp’s unnavigable nature. The land is infested with poisonous creatures, uncharted tribes of fish-like beings, and eerie whispers of witchcraft and dark magic.
Adventurers avoid Gloomfen at all costs, deterred by its difficult terrain and the dangers lurking within. Those who attempt to cross often find themselves trapped as boats sink into the thick mud, while seemingly sentient weeds ensnare and pull vessels underwater. The tribes living in the swamp are hostile, attacking anyone who dares to enter their territory.
For those rare few who survive the perilous journey, there are accounts of ancient ruins buried beneath the muck—once great cities now half-submerged and swallowed by time and water. As night falls, the swamp becomes even more dangerous, with strange, gelatinous creatures emerging from the earth to dissolve anything unfortunate enough to cross their path.
Despite its dangers, Gloomfen is rumored to hold secrets of lost magic and unknown medicines, with odd and powerful relics that are unlike anything seen in the rest of the realm. These mystical substances and strange powers make the swamp an area of great intrigue for those who are brave (or foolish) enough to venture into its depths.
