A fortress that sank into a bog centuries ago, now half-submerged in stagnant water. The upper floors are accessible, but the lower levels require swimming or magic.
Crumbling battlements jut from the bog at odd angles, the fortress having tilted as it sank over centuries. Algae-covered stone and rusted iron greet explorers who wade through knee-deep water in the entry hall. The upper chambers remain largely dry but tilted, creating disorienting sloped floors. Below the waterline, flooded corridors hold preserved relics and the drowned dead who guard them still. Air pockets in sealed rooms provide brief respite for divers.
