@gInto the Swamps
@w{coords}2,5,33
@w  These swamps are so grey from the lack of light that everything has the
@wappearance of death.  You are quite sure, however, that that is definitely
@wnot the case.  Various animal and insect noises occasionally break the
@wsilence, reminding you that even in a place like this many creatures can
@wfind a home.  In some places the light breaks through the canopy and shines
@wan unearthly glow upon the waters, and in these places you find cheer as you
@wtravel onwards.
