Great Swamp of Rethild

The Great Swamp of Rethild, also known simply as the Great Swamp or Rethild and Kethid, was a swamp in Dambrath.
==Description==
The Great Swamp was filled with moss, cypress trees, and zalantar trees and was home to giant leeches, giant toads, and giant snakes. It was always muggy and full of biting insects. Noxious vapors came up through the water and hung above the ground in great clouds of yellow, brown, or green gas. Some of these gases were poisonous or carried diseases, such as cackle fever and mindfire.
==Trade==
One of the trade exports of note from this region was Rethild-weave silk.
==Geography==
The Great Swamp was located on the western border of Dambrath. It was separated from Halruaa by the East Wall mountains. 
==Inhabitants==
