This large swamp, which sits in a rain shadow
against the southeast Sentinel Mountains, fills the area between the coast along the Romler Bay and the
mountains. This is the homeland of the saurian and the largest concentration of
that race. The Barakose Swamp is very dense and home to thousands of types of plants and
animals.
Disease and viruses are
commonplace here. Outsiders often fall ill when venturing into the swamp. Indigenous life
seems unaffected by these diseases. The origin of the name "Barakose" is not
known, although linguistic scholars believe that it is a corruption of the word
"Barakus", since the
Barakus Clans did hold this territory in ages past.
The great dragon
Ygrax
the Flameless dwells within this swamp. Ygrax is worshiped by a small group
of draconian
saurians.
They have established a permanent encampment outside his lair, patrol the region
and bring him offerings. Ygrax is not the only giant beast in the Barakose
swamp. Several
gumric can also be
found within this region.
Deep within the heart of the Barakose Swamp
lie the shattered ruins of the ancient Traxxian capital city of Doth. These
ruins are overgrown with swamp vines and partially flooded, but mostly intact.
