Bracken - The Devil's Swamp

The stories tell of a group of people traveling through the area of devil's swamp before the kingdom was even settled. The devil caught them and tortured and killed them one by one. The last person alive was a young lady. She begged for her life and agreed to do anything if the devil would not kill her.

She agreed to become the devil’s concubine for a period of five years, after which she would be set free. During those five years she was with child six times and gave birth to half demon half human creatures that came to be known as Brackens.

Legend tells of how the woman was released after the five years but by that time she had gone insane and never found her way out of the swamp. The Brackens wander the swamp day and night searching for her, for their lost mother. They are as vile and evil as anything that walks this earth.
