The Echo Swamps were a huge swampland and the base of the Grarg slavers within the continent of Urgath in SpellForce: The Breath of Winter.
Story information[]
In order to convince the resistance of Mirraw Thur to fight against the Winterguard the future Shadow Warrior had to obtain the help of the rune warriors Dunhan and Reowys.
After he had obtained Dunhan's rune at the Stormcleaver Rocks, he traveled to the Echo Swamps. Reowys awaited them at the portal but was controlled by Whorim and forced to attack Grim, Lena and the future Shadow Warrior.
The rune warrior summoned a dark elven rune army and went after the Grarg fighters. He first went east to oppress the local orcs and ogres. The path to the main fortress was locked but with the help of Hortar he was able to open the northern passageway as well.
By abusing the crawlers trained by Camp Commander Svera the rune warrior lured them into attacking the Grarg and broke into Whorim's camp. After he had defeated the mage, Reowys' rune was in the rune warrior's possession and the rune warrior returned to Mirraw Thur.
The Masked One[]
After having gone east from the portal the future Shadow Warrior came across a strange mage wearing a mask. He was asking for help because his servant, Lucius, had been captured by goblins led by Gitzo.
He was revealed to be quite adept in forging the spirits of deceased into old rune stones made by the circle. The rune warrior sucked Gitzo's essence into a rune stone and was able to find pieces of a Blade Minion northeast at the crawlers' cage.
Bone Carver[]
Nazosh and his orcs are attacked by some wild treewraiths
In order to train the rune warrior in the arts of bone carving Ashgork first sent the future Shadow Warrior to the Echo Swamps. Another orc called Nazosh was wearing an old bone totem which was a necessary requirement for Ashgork.
The rune warrior saved the orc marauders from some wild treewraiths in Whorim's former fortress and was rewarded with the bone piece in return.
Geography[]
The island was separated into three main areas: One is the green grasslands to the southwest close to the portal area. When going to the northeast the area became more humid and was turned into swamplands with lots of wild creatures inside. Even further northwest there was a mountain area with the Grarg camp of Whorim constructed on it.

Whorim's camp[]
The Grarg had heavily fortified their campsite with towers, palisades and buildings on it. When the rune warrior's armies arrived there in order to fight Whorim the Black, the resistance was immense. With the help of the dark elves the fortress was taken over and the Grarg were obliterated.
