0107 - Swamp - Ruins of Echofall

In this vast swamp, the air is filled with a symphony of life — the chorus of frogs, the buzz of insects, and the distant calls of hidden creatures — all resonating above the subtle, dissonant gurgles and echoes from the decaying waste processing plants. These sounds mingle eerily, creating a haunting acoustic tapestry that tells a story of nature’s resilience overshadowed by the remnants of a once-polluting past.

This eerie battle, a dance of ghostly figures and monstrous insects, unfolds with a surreal grace, echoing with the sounds of a long-forgotten war and the Scouts’ unnerved whispers.
