Belasco Marsh

The Balesco Marsh is directly to the left of the starting town of Jova and is accessible at the very beginning of the game. However, the terrain and enemies are very difficult for someone starting a new game and it is best avoided until sufficient power has been obtained. The actual Marsh area of the level is a little into the path and will drain energy from Simon if he tries to cross it without using a Laurel. After crossing the marsh, Simon will encounter the banks of the Dead River, where the Ferryman will take him across.
