The Scales Swamps

These vast swamp lands of the Azure Coast and north of the Everspring Forest are wild and dangerous, being infested by disease-carrying insects, venomous snakes, large crocodiles, ruthless lizard men, brutish trolls, ever-hungry hydras and other such creatures. It is therefore not surprising that every attempt at settling these harrowing lands has always failed.

However, it would seem that this region was not always a swamp land: indeed, the old, crumbling ruins of a city of the lost empire of Telluria (which fell c.a. -13000 A.R. at the same time as its adversary, the empire of Macremia, after the Great War of the Empires) lie near the middle of this region, indicating that it had been once a fertile habitable region that was successfully settled. The name of this ruined tellurian city has been lost to the ages.

Lastly, it is said that the infamous lich Aztranak, who terrorized the middle and south Azure Coast centuries ago, constructed his tomb (and final resting place) somewhere in the Scales Swamps.

The Scales Swamps constitute a part of the adventuring locale in the scenario Wrath of the Mind Lords.
