The central area of the region of Estwilde is dominated by a giant series of swamplands that are known collectively as the Darken Swamps. The entire area itself is known as the Qlettaar Province, which translates as Midland. The largest settlement and unofficial capital of Qlettaar is the town of Firstwal. The swamplands of Qlettaar reside between the northern Dargaard Mountains and the Khalkist Mountains and are inhabited by wild barbarian tribes, goblins, hobgoblins, gnolls, and many other evil races.
In the Age of Mortals, a fierce red dragon by the name of Fenalysten arrived in Qlettaar and claimed dominion over the realm. The dragon took up residence to the north of Firstwal and actively monitors his realm, whilst looking to increase his holdings beyond the borders of Qlettaar.
