Basalisk Hold

Far into the mountains of DeepHollow Marshes, stands a very old, yet majestic fortification, almost reaching the clouds at its peak. The hold was, with help from the dwarves, build by the
old tribes of the Wetlands, an 1800 something years ago. Still to this day holds a name as one the most impenetrable castles to have ever overseen the human realms. A lake borders the entire castle creating a natural moat that makes it only possible to access the hold in a boat through the gates build from coast to coast at a narrow part of the lake. The name "Basalisk" originates from a crocodile mutation, only found in the surrounding rivers, with eight legs and hundreds of teeth's.

The Inhabitants

The people of the DeepHollow marshes are a fierce, yet noble kind. With some of the harshest environments in all of the realms, the "Swamp people" have grown stronger and more cunning then most. While they are all under protection of the holds Lord "Jalon Morass" and the "Order Of Nine", most of the population live in the ways of the old tribes, staying in small huts and hunts for their food. Though many still pray to the old goddess Lady Mire, the official faith taken upon the lord of the lands is The Chosen Ones.
