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.

Geography
Rivers from the north cut through the land, merging before reaching the sea. There are a number of small lakes and large ponds throughout the land.

Darklord
Temporal Ruler
There is no ruler of the Basin as a whole, though some within the Basin have carved out territories that they control:
- A secret society within Fallaya of druids that seek to find the key to controlling the Swamp Shambler.
- Beauregard DuBlon, a were-crocodile thug that prowls the waterways and roads
- Djorji Herne, a darkling alchemist cursed to transform into a heron during the day and is a man every evening until sunrise. He searches for a cure for his affliction, believing the Shambler can lead him to the natural ingredients needed to make him fully human again.
- "Mayor" Redd rules the criminal haven of Flood Town unopposed.

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.
- A collector from the Core of fine art has heard rumor of many lost pieces of art in Flood Town and is willing to pay heavily for these objects to be transported back, if they do exist.
- "Mayor" Redd is growing restless with his town of criminals, and has his sights set on Fallaya. He wants to sink it as well, and is looking to find a way to anger the Swamp Shambler enough to do it for him.
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.
