Most of the year the weather is hot and humid. The fall sees a rainy season that usually lasts just a few weeks and one month in the winter sees what the locals call 'the bitter'. This can include freak storms and blizzards that suddenly coat the swamps in snow and ice that melts and disappears as quickly as it came. The warm weather helps attract the tourists but some also come for 'the bitter', to witness its sudden wintery beauty.
The Bitter is known to make the creatures of The Deep Swamp to act strangely. If the Bitter lasts more than a few days that can grow desperate for food and there are rumours that even the giant oar eels used mostly without incident by the goblins will turn on humans and hunt them if they get hungry enough.
