Spreading from the southwestern reaches of the Eastern Jungle towards the center of the island, The Lorok Swamp is the largest swamp in Cerzin. The place is home to many creatures that prefer the humidity, along with a few settlements and insect mamono hives. With most of these settlements popping up due to the presence of resources, they are typically relatively prosperous. Prevented from becoming actual cities of Importance by their location in a humid, hot swamp. It doesn't help that there are still quite a few monsters of the more murderous variety in the area. The Lorok Swamp got it's name from a spirit that supposedly dwells there, Lorok the Poisonheart. Rumored to live in a dark castle somewhere within the swamp. It is said that she seems to corrupt the swamp and it's inhabitants and that she seeks to make all of Cerzin into her corrupted domain. Of course, these are just rumors and no such castle or spirit has been proven to exist. Of course, that doesn't stop fortune seekers from trying to find her castle. Since it is also rumored that her castle holds vast riches and powerful magical items. Meaning that no small amount of adventurers to into The Lorok Swamp. Most either end up with the native mamono or leave empty handed however.
