[A2Z] G is for Great Mere

The Great Mere is the massive cool weather swamp/bog just to the south of the city, whose history has been tangled with Bridgeport since recorded (human) history in the area. Currently used as a dumping ground for city waste, both chamber pots and the occasional servant who has heard too much, there is also deep ties to the Mere with the Lizardfolk of the city. The frightening mystics and literally cold blooded blades-in-the-dark of the lizardfolk all trace their heritage to this massive swamp. Rumors hold that somewhere deep in the interior is an ancient city, a remnant of the past glories of the scaled folk, however the floating islands, dangerous predators and the clannish folk of the swamp have kept any of the glory hounds from returning with tales, at least as far as anyone knows...
