History
The Purple Lotus Swamp was located in the grasslands[3] of south-central Stygia, and the Purple Lotus growing there was used for its juice which Its juice produced temporary paralysis,[1] while its pollen extract could be inhaled, causing the subject to faint.[4]
The place was said to be haunted by ghosts.[1]Notes
- The Purple Lotus Swamp was created by Robert E. Howard in "The Scarlet Citadel" (Weird Tales; January, 1933). The adaptation of "The Scarlet Citadel" in Savage Sword of Conan #30 (June, 1978) mentions the Purple Lotus being grown in Stygia but not the swamp.
