Mortik Swamp

The Mortick Swamp (also spelled Mortik Swamp ) was the only swamp in the halfling realm of Luiren.

Geography
The Mortick Swamp was located in southern Luiren, just to the southeast of Chethel. It lay along Luirenstrand in the Great Sea. A road skirted the swamp's land boundaries to connect Chethel to Krenadir.

Inhabitants
The forest was inhabited by monsters, namely merrow and scrags, which often raided nearby lands.

History
In 148 DR, merrow from Mortick Swamp attacked the halfling settlement of Chethel, destroying half of the city. In 1372 DR, an ogre shaman known as the Bog King led the merrow and used the scrags for his own purposes.
