[[Fethayl Bog]] is a dark, dank, morose swamp outside the city-fortress of [[Ta'Vaalor]]. Submersed deep within the bog is a decrepit mausoleum which fuels the [[undead]] inhabitants of the marsh. Signs of life such as a hovel, benches, and grave sites suggest that the bog was not always as foul as its current state.

The bog is a mid-[[level]] hunting ground. Three undead creatures reside in the swamp, which is accessible by [[climbing]] down a deep gully near the [[Order of Voln]] off the Fearling Pass northwest of the city.

Althought the bog is considered to be a mid-[[level]] hunting ground, it should be noted that it is the most difficult in the [[Ta'Vaalor]] area, so assistance may be hard to come by.

==Indigenous creatures==
*[[Warrior shade]]
*[[Bog spectre]]
*[[Bog wight]]

==Hunting information==
*There is a section of mud that an adventurer must cross to traverse the two sections of the bog. This causes a 15–20 second [[roundtime]]. [[PEER (verb)|PEER]]<nowiki>ing</nowiki> through the mud will show if it is safe to cross.
*An adventurer in the [[Fethayl Bog]] can be diseased by a mosquito bite:
<div {{log}}>
One of the zillions of mosquitoes pervading the air decides to take a bite out of you! Pesky little..<br>
Diseased! Taking 15 damage per round. Dissipating 3 per round.
</div>
*An adventurer in the [[Fethayl Bog]] can have leeches attach to them, which require removal via a dagger-based weapon, or blood will be drawn in time:
<div {{log}}>
You feel something slimy on you, and glance down to notice a large slimy leech attached to your skin. Eww!<br>
You feel a bit weaker as a large slimy leech draws the blood from your body.<br>
>get dagger<br>
You remove a drake dagger from in your shadowy black hood.<br>
>remove leech<br>
Using your drake dagger, you carefully scrape the leech from your skin.
</div>
*After death, an adventurer can be buried underneath the surface of the bog and hidden from view, making rescue difficult. The [[Symbol of Need]] will still show other [[Order of Voln]] members where the adventurer is located. The body will need to be [[SEARCH (verb)|SEARCH]]<nowiki>ed</nowiki> out of hiding when found.

==Area messaging==
A brisk wind whistles by, causing frantic ripples to dance over the brackish water.

A chorus of tree frogs begins murmuring in a rough harmony.

A few thin tendrils of mist rise up from the mud, resembling ghostly fingers before they fade into the air.

A gust of howling wind blows past you, causing the bare and brittle treetops to rattle loudly against each other.

A shrill cry pierces the swamp, momentarily silencing the wildlife.

A small black shape darts from a clump of reeds, disappearing into the swamp.

An unearthly moaning echoes around you, dispelling any sense of peace and security from the area.

The low growl of a predatory beast drifts through the swamp.

A quiet hiss can be heard from within the log, casting an ominous silence upon the area. <i>(Snake room only)</i>

Overhead, a large snake undulates slowly along a tree branch. <i>(Snake room only)</i>

==Landmarks and other information==
*An underground crypt, which can be found through an opening near an oak tree, within the [[Fethayl Bog]] can be used as a resting spot.

*A small swamp rose may be [[PLUCK (verb)|PLUCKed]] from a thriving swamp rosebush in the southaastern section of the bog.
