Swamp of Gideon

The swamp of Gideon is a large area in Shay-Elliri which is encircled by a wide and dense belt of forest that borders along lands owned by the Duchy of Erthiir including Torven's Keep. The swamp is said to have been a great kingdom once, but after the ruler Gideon committed an unpardonable sin, the gods Valakesh and Vanye descended and laid waste to it, cursing the land, forever trapping the spirits of those who died there to tormented undeath.
