The Carved Swamp

This swamp is south west of Leonna. It is quite a large area though the very south of it is liveable by the people who are born there. The swamp itself is native to a lot of creatures which can petrify. This is only enhanced by the medusa that lives on an island at the centre of the carved swamp. The island is formed by a river that has been split down the middle and flows around the island.
The swamp itself is filled with insects and odd kinds of mushrooms and plants are native to this swamp because of the unusual biome. Fullber is one of the things that grow there.
The medusa that resides in the middle isn't necessarily evil. However by the village it is perceived as a place of either no return or of danger depending on who you ask. The medusa is a guardian that protects the temple on the island. The temple is one of the 8 temples that provide for the seal that encapsolates the entire continent of dras leonna.
The Island is build with mayan architecture.

Geography

The Carved swamp is an area that borders the ocean though it resides next to the ocean it neglects most traits that you would expect from a place near the ocean. The air is quite damp and the smell of it is a somewhat acidic smell compared to the smell of the ocean. If exposed too long to this air people that are not native to this land have a higher likelyhood of becoming sick of one kind or the other. The river that traverses through the carved swamp starts out a very clear blue however the more it travels through it the darker green it becomes untill it finally turns a forest green. Especially around the island the river bubbles emerge to the surface which are highly acidic and are the main reason why this land is the way it is.

Fauna & Flora
