The Blackmire is a swamp sub-region in the far north-west of Revelwood: mud and tar pits, the ruins of a sunken Ancient city, and Vukah villages built in the treetops. Enemies run from level 13 to 15. The Bard sleeps in the drowned city.
The Ancient Passage on its eastern edge leads on to the Veilwater Basin.
Getting There
A passage opens in Revelwood's far north-west. The Flame's quest Follow The Melody (level 12, after Flame Altar And Base Improvements (1)) leads you through it in steps: forge a path through the wild, master the Blackmire spire, reach the Sunken Ancient City, then find and summon the Bard.

Ancient Spire
The Blackmire spire marks the obelisk Entangled And Suffocated at the Snapjaw Tar Pits. Shrines here give 2 Sparks each, as in the rest of Revelwood.
Locations
Five Hidden Temples dot the swamp, and the Snapjaw Tar Pits in the west are home to the region's Snapjaws.

Lore
Queen Jezmina's flight from the capital took her through the swamp; her camp in the north-west and the four pages of Jezmina's Journey To The Blackmire tell the story. Valory's Journey and Valory's Life cover the Bard, and the Hermit Camp holds six pages of Hidden Crafting Recipes.
Notes
An item-set quest deep in the Blackmire rewards a vanity outfit.
