Lokinanda
Lokinanda, coming from "locin nanda", gnomish for "Snakevale", is the name of the swamp in middle of Silver Shore Island. Where most of the island is known for its connection to wonders of Feywild, Lokinanda stands as a stark contrast to this. It is a rotting, vegetated place with treacherous waters and ominous plants. But most importantly, it is home to several beasts and spontaneously appearing undead. It is observed, that sometimes cracks appear looming over the marshland, showing glimpses to gloom sights of Shadowfell.
As the possibly most undesirable place on the entire Island, the swamp has very little traffic despite its central location, making depths of it rather isolated. Swamp is inhabited by several deadly creatures that can live with a couple of rogue skeletons and the occasional zombie. Druids of Lokinanda have claimed the site as their own, living in small tribes, hunting the beast and the dead, and have formed their own culture around it. Meanwhile strange fortress-village Ravenvein looms in gloomiest depth of the swamp, separated from most society.
It is a wild, dangerous place. And it requires a wild, dangerous person to conquer it.
