The Quagmire is a region of the Court of Savathûn on the outskirts of Savathûn, the Witch Queen's fortress. The defector Ghost Fynch hides near a cave in the southern region of the Quagmire, overlooking the edge of the strange canal to the south of the southern fortress entrance. The region is littered with the damaged or destroyed remnants of Hive structures similar to the Miasma region, and scattered Scorn supplies and constructions can also be found there. The Quagmire is split evenly between the Scorn, who control the swampy areas, and the Lucent Hive, who hold the entrances to the fortress.

History

During their initial investigation of the Throne World, The Guardian arrived at the end of the fortress from the Florescent Canal, following the signal of a mysterious ally. They found the Scorn here for the first time in their exploration, battling the Lucent Brood's forces. The Guardian defeated both sides, and reached the contact's location, who was revealed to be the conscientious Ghost Fynch^[1]. The Quagmire would be established as a landing zone, becoming the starting area for the rest of the Vanguard's operation in the Throne World.
