Kano Swamp divides the known portion of the Crimson Savanna. The name comes from the Kreen word for cold that also has connotations relating to the kreen's cold hell. A mighty river cascades out of western mountain range toward the Jagged Cliffs, and on its way southward it drains into the depression that is Kano Swamp. The kreen of this area avoid this swamp, for its excessive wetness can cause a variety of illnesses in the insectoids, not the least of which is chitin rot.
Kano swamp houses a vast collection of reptiles not found anywhere else in the Crimson Savanna. Travelers can escape some of the insectoid terrors of the grasslands by plunging into Kano Swamp. However, the predators in its dark interior are as deadly - or deadlier - than most of the predators stalking through the tall grass outside.
