A nice little starter adventure with plenty of flavour.

Taking inspiration from the Nausicaa anime movie and 1001 Nights, it blends a potentially deadly foetid swamp with snippets of wise stories linking to the history of the location. Well detailed NPCs are introduced at the beginning providing good oportunities for roleplaying, a sandbox swamp location requires exploration, and a couple of interesting villains with very different goals cap off a plethora of creepy verminous combat encounters in the swamp.

A few minor typos/grammar issues could be easily cleaned up and it would be helpful to have some more information on the markers with the stories, perhaps (as an additional story hook) a sage from the city hires the PCs to recover these nuggets of ancient wisdom.

The art is sparse but good, the maps and layout clean and plain.

Well worth picking up for the price.
