"The Swamp Continues" by ANDREW D. CARTER.
High above Kelfour's Landing lies the large Mountain Lake,
the Keltarn. Because of its height, it is one of the few places on
Quellbourne where rain falls freely. This has created vast swamps
around some of its boarders. To some this cold, dismal place promises
great wealth in the form of resources. Rumours abound of gold, eog
and laen. But as always, great wealth only comes at great risk.
Many have set off from Kelfour's Landing in search of
these riches. The few that have returned talk of only tragedy and
heartbreak. Now the 'Council of the Magi' from the city of Quellburn
has turned their attention to this god-forsaken area. A
small-fortified outpost has been established. The Council has now
cautiously set about exploring this harsh swampland. Gathering
reports by all means possible, a disturbing pattern is arising. There
are reports of giant creatures, hideous experiments, bandits,
sohleugir (lizardmen), vampires, demons and stargazers. Most
disturbing, however, is the evidence that some sort of mastermind is
behind the horror of this place.
Now Lord Carlmund from Quellburn, First Bishop of
Quellbourne is hiring hand picked brave souls to solve this 'riddle
of the swamp'. Is this you?
The Year is 6,051 Third Era. Just over a year after the
liberation of Quellburn.

Chapter III: "The Flight of the Hudvaarks" by Andrew D. Carter.
After the defeat (again) of the Demon in the Garden, the
heroes find themselves left alone in this shadowy foreboding dank
underground cavern. The entities performing the dark ritual to free
the demon have now been banished. The Demon itself dissipated and was
forced back to it's own plane.
But what of this shiny door which now has been discovered?
Chancellor Andon Merchantson looks at the strange etchings around the
side with great interest. "They look to me like those ungainly
hudvaarks. Those seabirds are all over the place back home in
Quellburn!" interjects Beorn the Orphan Maker. "Well my friend, if
you would only let me concentrate, we may find out" answers Andon,
just a little frustrated. Lady Morgana the Enchantress, Andon's wife,
leans forward touching the etchings and the area around them. "Stop!"
shouts Andon angrily "Who knows what wards you may trigger". "Well
none so far" answers Morgana curtly, "and what are these feint runes,
my darling, which you seemed to have missed which are around them
mean?" Only Morgana's trained keen senses could have found such
hidden clues. Andon looks again even more puzzled.
"Anyway, let's have a look behind this locked door" muses
the Chancellor as he does the magical incantations to cast a Wizard's
Eye. The eye forms and floats through the door easily. Sir Edwood the
True, Sister Milfreysa the Gentle and her husband Brother Egur the
Breaker now come forward. "Well there's light on the other side of
it" says Andon. "What do you see" ask the others excitedly moving
forward again. "There's chambers here with lots of weirdby the gods,
there HUGE". "He's obviously not talking about his Wife's breasts now
is he?" laughs Egur. Morgana tries to ignore him, as her husband just
stands there speechless. Andon is jolted back to reality as the eye
is suddenly snuffed out, long before the spell should have finished.
He turns to Bishop Carlmund who is also on this expedition, "My Lord,
we must speak. I know not what I saw". The Chancellor's visage is
grave.
The Year is 6,050 Third Era. A few months after the
liberation of Quellburn.
