The Blighted Marshes is a province introduced in Total War: Warhammer III, located in The Old World.
This is the Immortal Empires equivalent of the Skavenblight province in the previous game.
Lore[]
From the shores of the northern Tilean sea to the foot of the Black Mountains a great morass of dismal marshland lies like a festering plague. This area is known as the Blighted Marshes: an ancient and terrible realm where death comes quickly to the unwary. A permanent, reeking mist cloaks the deep black pools and slimy reed beds from view. Sluggish, muddy channels wind through the mire mazelike and unfathomable, darkened on either bank by stretches of twisted stalks which resemble nothing so much as corn blackened in a fire. In places stagnant pools of murky water form, slicked with a dark iridescence where no living things grow.
To enter the Blighted Marshes is to walk to your doom, inviting death in the bottomless murk or the jaws of the twisted beasts that inhabit the marsh. Very few brave its terrors, for there are no tales of gold or hidden knowledge lying forgotten in its chill clutches to draw adventurers to the vast black marsh, reeking mist and toxic pools. No one dares to dwell near it, for fear of the dark secrets it harbours.
At its centre lies Skavenblight, the half-sunken ruin of a great city once ruled by man, now overrun by teeming ratmen who in amongst the fields of black corn and soaked tunnels scheme, murder and spawn yet more vile inventions to unleash upon the world. To look upon it is to see the fate that the Skaven intend for all humanity, a horror almost impossible to comprehend.
