Anomaly : Crater of Iracomté

 

Location : Iracomté, Hautemort, Almer

Once a verdant region, a meteor crashed into the land long ago, destroying everything around the point of impact. The meteor burned so hot it burrowed deep into the earth, corrupting the underground water source and creating boiling geysers that flooded the area into a sulfurous, pestilent swamp.

To this day, the meteor still burns deep within the crater. Its eldritch radiation has long died down to a safe level, but the region is far too mutated to ever recover. Horrendous cross between man and insect, toxic gasses, acid lakes, boiling mud, unknown diseases, carnivorous plants large enough to trap a human, these are but few of the dangers awaiting travelers who dare venture too far into Iracomté.

While the area surrounding the crater sees tourists regularly and is relatively safe if one can withstand the stench, the rest of the swamp is off-limits.

However, this does not prevent certain individuals from risking their life. Beyond Iracomté lies the forbidden city of Sorciel where it is believed a coven of witches, led by the infamous Witch of Iracomté, resides. Rumoured to be able to see into one's future, people have made the journey seeking answers to their most burning questions.

Very few have returned.
