Muskeg Bay

Description of Muskeg Bay
A body of water to the South of Grimhallow. Outside of town the land gradually turns into a bog that will have you traversing knee deep in thick mud. As you go further mangroves begin to appear and the mud rescinds and becomes waist deep boiling dark green water. Each step must be carefully made, a wrong step could have you slipping into a deep ravine and into the murky depths.

After breaking through the mangroves the swamp turns to a large emerald lake. The sound of cascading waters will lead you to the Emerald Falls where the lake pours out over a sheer, jagged cliff side that leads to the bay. Here a settlement has been built, its occupants, hunters and trappers catching alligators for skins and meat who transport down the waterways in flimsy kayaks, ????

The Whirlpool
At the center of the bay is a massive whirlpool. It appeared suddenly one day and has remained ever since. A cult hijacked an airship and attempted to sacrifice the passengers to whirlpool by crashing the airship, claiming it would awaken something within. Luckily, members of the guild were onboard and managed to prevent any souls from entering the whirlpool. It is highly advised to stay away from the center of the bay due to the pull of the whirlpool as well as the large creatures that seem to live around it.

Creatures
The bay is no stranger to aquatic creatures. Traveling boats will often find pods of dolphins playing in their wake and there is ample fish on the northern parts. The central part of the bay is the confirmed home of large sea creatures like Plesiosaurs, Giant Sharks and one very disturbing Aboleth. The Aboleth is to be avoided at all costs as it appears intelligent and insidious. During its first sighting, it attempted to sink a boat carrying guild members. It was fought off with a cannon and the boat escaped to a sandbar near the shore which proved too shallow for the Aboleth to follow. Since the incident, care has been taken to use the sandbar for safe passage. The Aboleth can often be seen following boats just outside of cannon range, sometimes for days on end, watching and learning.
