The water is murky and dark. There are unknown dangers lurking in it, such as alligators and poisonous snakes. Plants and trees hide more dangerous animals. It is cold.
Murky water, Swamp

I am a warm and loving parent. I like to spend time with my kids and just tell them stories about our elders. I dislike it  when they misbehave.
My goodness no!  There are dark and vile creatures in the Murkwater, such as alligatos, poisonous snake, and turtle-folk.  It is far too dangerous. Aww but I was really want to pet the alligator. We can get the woodworker to make you a wooden one, would you like that? Okay, I guess so. Oh, and I found this pretty ball over there by the water. What is it? My goodness, what a strange device.  I wonder if it is of the old magic?  It is said that this swamp was once the capital city of the elves,before they turned their backs on God, and a fiery star smote them from the heavens. The elves? Wow, maybe it is magic. What do you think it does? They say these balls of crystal allow the viewer to see strange and far away places, and with the right words, travel to them as well.  These are only stories, but I wonder how much truth there is to them . . . Should we try it out? Maybe it can take us out of this place since I can't touch the alligator. Hmmm lets see if I remember the words of the legends . . . "Far sight come to be, show me what there is to see!"  . . . what do you see child? I see the elves, Momma! They look really angry. They are arguing with someone. What do you think that means? I don't know . . . is it the past or the future that we see? I don't know. I hope the elves aren't going to return and cause problems for us
