Southfell Glades

The southern end of Ramthion Island is a swampy morass despite the fact that it lies far enough above the sea that it should be able to drain. Scholars speculate that some catastrophic deluge of old must have occurred to create the anomalous conditions, but no one knows for certain. The Lesser Reach of the Caney feeds into the swamp and Lake Latrouche at its center, and from there muddy fingerlets of water spread out to saturate the entire area of the glades. This area has been considered haunted since the earliest known times on Ramthion, and the ruins of the ill-starred Toussant family’s house still rest somewhere within their dank embrace. Disappearances have always been common among villages that lie near the swamps and are usually attributed to alligators or the gargantuan frogs that haunt its depths, but the graybeards just shake their heads and know better. In addition, an undeniably large number of mindless undead wander the watery ways, so even the most skeptical have to consider that something supernatural may be at work here.
