The Wreck

Out in the swamps by Marrull Vaar lie a number of grey-white metal beams, like the ribcage of a giant long dead.

A number of minor trinkets of First Age manufacture might be found around the site, but if one lingers too long one might attract the attention of the fiendish creature that haunts the wreckage. Looking vaguely like a rhinoceros beetle constructed from human limbs, with faces dotting its head like a spiders eyes and a full head at the end of its horn cradled by hands, it is a terrifying sight as it emerges from behind obstacles that could not possibly hide something of its size. Worse still, its keening song elicits rumblings from the surrounding marshes, in what can only be presumed is some sort of response call.

Wise swamp dwellers give it a wide berth, but some (for example Reeds Whisper) are not so clever.
