==The swamplands==
Four Cycles ago (approximately 800 years), there was an important temple located at the confluence of the two rivers, dedicated to the worship of the river goddess Sarna. Over time a small town sprang up around the temple, to provide for the needs of the priests who dwelled within the temple, and the pilgrims who traveled to the temple to ask questions to the oracles of the place. At sometime in the past a schism formed between the priests within the temple, a divide that eventually turned violent as brother turned against brother. One notable feature of the clash were the forcible drownings on those deemed to be heretics. About two Cycles ago (four hundred or so years), during one of the periods when the forces of Chaos were ascendant, the two rivers overflowed their banks and the land around sank into a swamp. It is conjectured by some that the this was the result of Sarna visiting her wrath upon those who despoiled the sanctity of the river; others suggest that one side fell to the worship of Chaotic gods such as Dagon, or Tsathoggua, or even older, nameless gods that stalked the earth long before the rein on man.
