There might be an evil spirit gaining power in the swamp - the only way to defeat it is either destroy its shadow fey followers, smite it with a magic (and bog-sunken) blade, or perform an elaborate exorcism ritual (could make a nice twist, where instead of the PCs stopping the ritual it's the evil spirit's followers attempting to stop the PCs).By present-day, do you mean 2009? If so, there are plenty of castles which are still in use, usually as musuems or tourist destinations. I was just talking with a classmate about a cathedral in New York that was turned into a night club and the controversy around that.The logical choice is a magic object which will be used to defeat the monster but is lost in swamp somewhere. Maybe it's a spear or javelin used to wound the monster's mother/father/brother/sister/lover? Or the monster itself at one point by a legendary hero? Maybe it is fashioned out of some part of the monster (like a horn, tusk, or tail spike), and has a mystical connection to the monster?Shadow fey. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devil.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":devil:" title="Devil    :devil:" data-shortname=":devil:" /> MM2 has Umbral Sprite Swarm & Spriggans, though you could always reskin Dark Ones as bad faeries.Lover's Cliff, a haunted spot above town overlooking [landmark], where forbidden lovers jumped to their death. Flowers and gifts are left to appease their ghosts, and now it is used by a well-intentioned friar to teach young paramours the lessons of chastity and patience. At night it serves as the trysting spot for a young noblewoman and the ghost of the youth... he hungers for flesh and she for secrets from the underworld.</blockquote>
