Swango Swamp
Swango Swamp lies in the southwestern corner of Vardura.
Geography
Dotted with murky pools and crooked swango trees, Swango Swamp is a barren and destitute plain of marshy muck. Thick fog, which collects as a thin film on any surface that stays stationary for too long, blocks most visibility and provides the constant smell of rotting vegetation.
Ecosystem
Swango Swamp's ecosystem is currently in significant trouble. The Ancient-old Varduran experiments have mutated and evolved over the past few centuries, significantly impacting the stability of the swamp. Traveling by underground waterways, the corrupting refuse from sema spawning has made its way into the Heart of Swango Swamp, a literal giant heart somehow grown from the swamp. The corruption is killing Swango Swamp and driving its slow-moving consciousness aggressively insane.
Localized Phenomena
Swango Swamp is effectively one giant "swampkin", with a beating heart, arteries that course throughout the region, and the broken avatar that is Lord Vine.
Fauna & Flora
Swangoes, bulbous oval-shaped fruit about two feet long, are native flora. They are encased in a thick waterproof skin that requires skill to remove but can be reused after harvesting.
History
Swango Swamp was once a beautiful place teeming with the rampant growth of life. Thick-trunked swangrove trees, much different than the current vegetation, made the swamp nearly a forest. Thin vines dressed in white flowers twisted around every available branch in a symbiotic relationship. Then, the Vardurans came and buried Swango Swamp beneath concrete, stone, and cities. Then, whatever happened to the Vardurans happened, and Swango Swamp erupted in a violent rage and destroyed much of the Varduran works. Unfortunately, Varduran experiments with using transmutation magic to turn undead creatures back into "living" ones had poisoned the swamp, an ailment currently threatening to destroy the swamp entirely.
