Hanal Marshlands

The Hanal Marshlands is a swampy region in the North East of Kuulpec between the The Stone Peaks and the Sunrise Sea.

Temple Ruins
Having washed up on shore in the north east of the marshlands after their ship was attacked by a Kraken, the party ventured west inland. The came upon a set of old temple ruins filled with bizarre humanoid sea creatures. These creatures appeared hostile at first but they quickly learned that they were harmless.

When the party approached the creatures, they creatures started to panic and beg the party to "...not bring them back...". After successfully calming them, the party learned that the main creature used to be a human and was transformed into a hideous monster by a Kraken Priest. They mention that there is a Kraken hunting them, and that it will be sending it's pawns to find and bring them back.

The creatures had escaped captivity after their ships were attacked by a Kraken. They were captured and their bodies transformed, but unlike many of their comrades they managed to maintain their minds.

The creatures tell the party about a village in the north of the Marshlands, only describing its inhabitants as "Fish People". They give the party a map of Kuulpec saying that they won't need it anymore.

They warn the party that if their ship was attacked by a Kraken, its thralls will soon be hunting for them.

Wyvern Attack
As the party ventured deeper into the Marshlands following a river, they came upon a ruined farm house. Inside was a small pile of treasure, and as soon as the party touched the small hoard, a Wyvern attacked them. Once they managed to kill the wyvern and stole its hoard, they noticed that it was wearing a saddle. In the saddle pockets the found a scrap of paper with a hand drawn (but incomplete) map.

The Red Lance Wreckage
The party ventured West from the ruins where they encountered the wyvern, and came upon a ruined ship several kilometers inland. Interestingly, it appears as though the ship itself was thrown by something immensely powerful. The party searched the wreckage and realized it was the Red Lance, the ship that was ferrying them to Corcaea before it was attacked by a Kraken. Their search of the ship revealed a Mysterious Note in the First Mate's quarters.

On exiting the ship, the party was attacked by a group of Sahuagin, creatures presumably sent by the Kraken to hunt them down.
