Labenda Swamp

The  were a darkened, tangled, thick swamps that surrounded the town of Berleben and the Ounterloch. It laid at the base of the Silberquel Ridge and running straight through the swamps was the Bromkiln Byway. At night, howls could be heard coming out of it.

The swamps
In the center of the swamp, the air became humid and prevented the mounting sweat on a body from evaporating, causing people sweat to pool in their armor in uncomfortable ways. The ever present hum of the buzzing insects just permeated the atmosphere, while the musky stench of decaying plants and stagnant water grow stronger the further in you would go.

There were a number of tall banyan trees and other thicker-trunked, gnarled bases, heavy, thick vine-covered canopies. The canopies were not super thick. There was still light coming through, and there were bits and pieces that overhang the Byway, but there is still open sky.

The swamp had heavy puddles of swamp bog water which had often giant gators resting just below the water surface. Scattered across the swam there were thick swampy, tarish like pools that had a thick bit of black bog.

Early in the day a very low fog, sat across the surface of the water that was exposed in patches between the thick roots and soft rotting vegetation seemed to be sitting, almost like a spongy ground. If a void was made within the ground water would begin to fill up the space.

There was a small fallen over gatehouse off the path to Berleben. The stones looked well over a hundred years old. The stones had long been reclaimed by the roots and vines of the swamp.
