Eormanric retains a Chittagong Sage at great cost to research ancient imperial sites that might offer up plunder. The Sage directs him to the (well known) Sunken Marsh City of Yarr, some days march beyond the southern boarder of Sequarl, along the trade route to the Sand Lands.
It is spring of the hottest year in the cycle and they are beset by crocodiles and lizard men. There is also a sharp orc fight. Eormanric and Givnic succumb to swamp fever and are laid up for most of the trip. As the heat increases they decide to give up on the marsh and march home.
On the route home they encounter a boar of highly unusual size. The druid Gerindar decides to combat the giant boar by conjuring a Wall of Fire. Unfortunately, this starts a forest fire that burns down hundreds of ancient trees. They also find a ruined village and a tomb with a powerful lich.
