A fetid wetland in the heart of Moonwood, where the forest floor drops into permanent marsh. The Dead Moon Tribe uses it as a defensive barrier—outsiders who try to penetrate deep into Moonwood inevitably end up in the swamp, where they sink, sicken, or simply never emerge. The tribe knows the safe paths through. No one else does.
Local legend claims the swamp was created deliberately, flooded by Dead Moon shamans to deny the Sylthik a route into their territory. If true, it suggests capabilities the tribe has been careful to hide.
