A shadowy, foreboding forest, its very presence shrouded in mystery and danger. The air is heavy with a highly toxic, noxious stench—making it very difficult for humans below A-Rank to survive without assisting tools or some insurance.
Tall, gnarled trees with twisted roots loom overhead, their branches intertwined like skeletal fingers reaching out from the murky depths below. A strange purple lizard slithers along the twisted roots, its scales glistening with toxic residue.
On the surface of the swamp, which is covered with a thick greenish mire. Ominous bubbles intermittently rise to the surface, releasing a noxious gas. The waters themselves are a sickly shade of black, reflecting the dim light filtering through the dense canopy above.
