 The swamp was created by the minions of Gestron blocking off the flow of water to the southern half of Tarquin. This created dry canyons south of the hills where Gestron lurked and a great swamp in the flat farmland that makes up the western portion of Draxmore Valley. With the fall of Gestron, the swamp has receded and the farmland can again be cultivated.
