Kezzaran

The Kezzaran is the largest wetland in the Kaspari Empire, spanning a distance of almost 230 miles. Myriad trees, herbs, and grasses grow there, making it a favorite site for plant-eating creatures, and the large number of herbivores draws predators to the area as well, namely alligators, vipers, and eels.
As one of the oldest swamps in the Kaspari Empire, the Kezzaran also contains numerous ruins and the skeletons of old villages. The water level in the swamp rises and falls unpredictably, and a settlement there one year may be completely submerged the next.
Water flows into the Kezzaran from the Thrugga River and other rivers flowing out of the Hulman and Pogardi Mountains. Past the city of Zender, the rivers split into a multitude of seasonal channels, extending over a width of more than 20 miles. At the northern end of the swamp these channels collect and form the Kezzaran River, which eventually flows into the Basaam River via the Bezana.
In the year 1490, a canal was constructed around the Kezzaran, opening up Zender and cities to the south to barge traffic from the Basaam.
