There are three adventures contained within the book. One serves as an introduction to the setting and the others offer more advanced campaign-style play. A number of locations are noted but not detailed within the book so a GM can develop either more involved campaigns based in their own home-brew setting or develop the remainder of the areas on their own.
 
  
The goal of the book is to provide a setting for which many adventures can be played out and offer advice on how to run a typical swamp adventure.
