The awful Eloman Swamp was situated along the lower Onpu Mispír, a half day's ride east of Mispír. Choked with vines, twisted trees, ponds of scum, and a maze of lily-filled streams, it was a small but formidable obstacle.

While the swamp's countless varieties of insects would seem to present appetizing treats for flying beasts, they were too numerous, too poisonous, and too vicious to invite predators. Even Men and Elves shied away from this haunt. Local legends recalled a creature known as Xarbanisan of the Swamp, a strange witchlike woman that stalked the foul fen on darker nights.
