Whispering Swamps - Ever treacherous, the Whispering Swamps are infamous for sucking unwary travelers down to their deaths. The sticky mud can tear your boots right off your feet. Leeches as big as your fist hide in the twisted mangrove branches. What looks like a wading pool can easily be thirty feet deep. Pockets of marsh gas choke the breath from anyone who sets foot inside -- or explode at the flame of an ill-placed torch. A soft keening noise can be heard throughout the swamp, which folklore claims to be the unburied ghosts of drowned men, unable to rest and forever wailing. Zirconyx's learned men scoff at folklore, however, and dismiss it as a mere trick of the wind. There is only one slight problem with that theory. No wind ever blows in the Swamps.
