Description
The Living Greyhawk Gazetteer describes the Vast Swamp, thus:
"The neck of the Tilvanot Peninsula is formed by a vast limestone depression lined on both sides by [the Hollow Highlands and the Hestmark Highlands]. In this valley is a stagnant mass of near-tropical vegetation and water that forms the southern border of Sunndi, where it is sometimes called the Great Swamp. The Vast Swamp has long been home to many nonhumans, particularly bullywugs, and has also housed desperate outlaws of every race who raid frequently into southern Sunndi for their needs. The swamp is also home to the cult of the demigod Wastri, the Hopping Prophet. Other legends tell of the lost tomb of a demilich called Acererak, believed to be somewhere near the heart of the swamp. The Vast Swamp apparently drains into underground tunnels, but these have not been found."[2]
