The Swallows is a location in Two Worlds II. It is a devastated land on the island of Eollas near New Ashos. The land is twisted and mangled, and evil permeates every crevice, while the inhabitants are just as twisted and corrupted. Some buildings miraculously still exist. Many deadly creatures mutated by the dark magic live and thrive there, preying on all. The sky is permanently dark, and there are small green fissures all over the ground.
Creation
The Swallows were created by a wayward experiment on Verita Crystals gone wrong by a young Gandohar, more than 30 years previously in the year 320. In his second year of study at the Veneficus University, Gandohar attempted reckless experiments with Verita. One of his experiments went terribly wrong. The fragile balance between the elements was destroyed - and in the green and fertile land now known as the Swallows, the Verita wreaked havoc. It took the combined efforts of the Veneficus Master Mages to stop the Verita contagion from spreading and they did it by erecting a magic barrier around the Swallows.[1][n 1]
Concequences
The creation of The Swallows caused beasts to spontaneously mutate and become far more aggressive, [2] the death of seven sons of an old woman[3] and the death of one of the brothers who created the game Hide the Box.[4]
