Great Salt Marsh

This stretch of coastline between Darnagal and Freegate has been a salty marshland for thousands of years. Within are trackless miles of peat bog, deep mud, stagnant water, and high, thick grasses. The smell of rotten eggs hangs like a shroud over the marsh.
Within the marsh can be found stone structures with elegant arches that are nearly submerged in the muck. These are the ruins of the ancient elven city of Varagost. When that city fell, the tales say, the magics used to bring it down also caused the land here to sink, which allowed the gulf waters to flood in, thus creating the marsh.
A tribe of lizardfolk successfully carved out a small piece of territory in the southern portion of the Great Salt Marsh, keeping an uneasy peace with a young black dragon and a spirit naga dwelling in the north. Other aquatic monsters and animals such as crocodiles, alligators, giant frogs, and hags also dwell within the bog. No humanoid settlements are within the Great Salt Marsh, though adventurers and explorers occasionally venture into the festering wetland to harvest peat or search for treasure within Varagost’s submerged ruins.
