    The chirping and buzzing of insects alongside the song of swamp-birds fills the air of the Royal Swamp in the heart of the Amphibiterra region, surrounding the grung city of Grungdunggrunglung.You pick your way over massive lilypads, pushing through thickets of reads and clambering over the twisting roots of the magrove trees.The swamps certainly have an element of beauty to them, one that's easily overlooked.But that doesn't make them easier to traverse.You pick through another pool of water, careful to not ruin the beautiful water lilies and lotuses blooming in the pool.

    Luckily, you soon reach the city, its resplendent moat filled with beautiful gardens of water lilies and lotuses, including the aptly named giant nenuphar, ancient water lilies of massive sizes that could now only grow in the climate of the Amphibiterra region.The city itself was quite beautiful, with water features playing a large part in its architecture.Water channels intersected streets, small waterfalls flowed through crevices in the walls, statues of grungs adorned bubbling fountains, and the city was full of artificial lakes and ponds.Another two notable architectural details of the city were the lotus motifs and the frog imagery.Both of these motifs made perfect sense, after all.Lotuses and water lilies were sacred plants to the grungs, and the demigod known as the Mighty Froglet who had created and now watched over the race.Of course, grungs also had a close connection with frogs.You walk towards one of the arched gates, and are greeted by the smile of a green-caste grung ranger, who waves a hand to you. "Greetings, friend! The name's Otak, nice to meetcha.What's your name, newcomer?"
