-> It was a cold swamp, but not with the clean chill of the Cold Forests on which it bordered. The unwholesome warmth of an ocean of decay rotted the crisp cold to a corpse-like chill, like the buried incalescence of some deep and teaming crypt. From this rose a thick and ever present mist, a cloak of smothering vapor that clung to the morass, swallowed its chaotic vegetation, masked its unfathomed quicksand bogs. Kranor-Rill was a poisoned labyrinth whose oozing breath obscured the deadly hazards of its maze.

->From the shores of the northern Tilean sea to the foot of the Black Mountains, a great morass of dismal marshland lies like a festering plague. This area is known as the [[IDontLikeTheSoundOfThatPlace Blighted Marshes]]: an ancient and terrible realm where death comes quickly to the unwary. A permanent, reeking mist cloaks the deep black pools and slimy reed beds from view. Sluggish, muddy channels wind through the mire, mazelike and unfathomable, darkened on either bank by stretches of stretches of twisted stalks which resemble nothing so much as corn blackened in a fire. In places, pools form, slicked with a dark iridescence where no living things grow. To enter the Blighted Marshes is to walk to your doom, inviting death in the bottomless murk or the jaws of the [[RodentsOfUnusualSize twisted beasts]] said to live there. Few brave its terrors, for there are no tales of gold or hidden knowledge lying forgotten in its chill clutches to draw adventurers, just black marsh, reeking mist and a lonely death.
