 [[File:Swamp entry.png]] '''The Swamp''' is a side [[branch]] that contains the decaying [[rune of Zot]]. Four levels deep, it is home to all manner of small water creatures and swamp insects, as well as [[hydra]]s, [[dragon]]s, and [[worm]]s.
 ==Useful Info==
 Each floor is large and open, with [[tree]]s and plants providing the only cover most of the time. You'll find small islands of land and the occasional ruin or vault amid large masses of [[shallow water]]. [[Cloud]]s of thin mist occasionally generate, which do nothing except prevent other clouds from occupying its tile.

 If you find the Swamp, you will not find [[the Shoals]] in your current game. The Swamp entrance is located between [[Lair]]:2 and Lair:3.

 You can set trees on fire to create passages. The resulting forest fire will create immense amounts of steam and may go out of control, however!
