Infested Mire

Levels 10–20

Built by Merald

Though many swamps and marshes are seen as desolate, in truth, this mire used to be a pleasant spot. Once known as the rose mire, it was famous for flowers and medicinal herbs, as well as many beautiful water birds and wild cats; a perfect place for the hunter, the gatherer, or even those simply desiring a country stroll, so long as they watched their step and didn't mind getting their feet wet. But, close to a century ago, something changed. The mire became dark and foreboding, travellers spoke of sinister columns of black stone rising above dark waters, and shadowy miasma filling the air. The place became the haunt of trolls and ogres, the air full of death and decay. Whether or not this curse is related to the similar odd events that overtook the Menkin family, nobody is sure. But either way what was once the rose mire is now known only by the name of whatever mysterious evil infests it.
