Boggard Dam Fortress
A massive edifice of mud, stone, and timber stretching between two squat hills deep in Dunmire swamp. One hill has sheer sides covered in brambles and is blocked by a massive tree; the other has a gentle slope leading down to swamp water. Houses boggard forces and (formerly) captive villagers.
Swamp Bridge (C1)
A wooden bridge made from logs and branches lashed with rope, connecting a nearby hill to the top of the dam. Wide enough to transport equipment. Guards positioned here; night guards suffer –2 penalty on Perception.
Tower (C2)
A squat mud-and-wood watchtower overlooking the entire dam site. A simple ladder ascends to the top, which is covered by a small straw roof and open to the sides. A large wooden cellar door at the base leads into the dam interior. Cannot see the docks or area behind the massive tree.
Infested Tree (C3)
The massive tree on the western side of the dam that blocks approach visibility. Provides cover for approaching creatures and can be climbed for an aerial approach to the dam.
