Scorpion Swamp is an ancient and vast marsh into which few venture. It is inhabited by many creatures, many hostile and is criss crossed by numerous trails which twist and turn in all directions. It is said that an Evil fog hides the sky there and no-one can set a course by the stars. Within the swamp even compasses become unreliable. In recent years it was claimed by a group of wizards calling themselves the Masters of Scorpion Swamp, yet it has never been under anyone's control and still isn't. Through the swamp runs the mighty Foulbrood River, on either side of which is thick jungle.
