Introduction

In narrative conflict there is man versus man, man versus himself, and man versus nature. Few domains embody the last like Fallaya Basin, where the very land is the enemy.

Adventure Hooks

  • The Swamp Shambler searches for a woman in a vague understanding of marriage. Periodically women are abducted from the roads and waterways, and sometimes from the streets of Fallaya itself, to be lost within the swamps forever, or even worse, to become the Shambler's bride. Young women are warned to never sing as they pass between Fallaya and other towns for fear the Shambler will hear.
  • Rumor has it there is a music box, lost somewhere within the moors of the Basic, that can control the Swamp Shambler itself.

Inspiration

The land evokes both southern gothic stories and exaggerated stereotypes (read: archetypes) of the deep south, including Deliverance. Swamp Monsters, including the Swamp Thing and Man Thing comics and the Honey Island Swamp monster.
