Spoiler Warning!!!: Plot and/or ending details of a Fighting Fantasy publication follow. Please DO NOT read this article if you do not want foreknowledge of this publication. Although the article below is based on canon, some of its content is considered extrapolation because it assumes a certain course of events through an adventure that has many possible routes. Finally, the use of "Hero" and other male- gender expressions pertaining to the subject in the article and/or title of the article is not intended to exclude the possibility that the hero was female.

"Spoiler!" Beware!

The Hero of Scorpion Swamp was a hardy adventurer who had "heard tales of that awful marsh" all his or her life, indicating that he or she was probably a native of western Khul.[1] Whilst travelling on the King's Highway, the hero helped an old woman and was rewarded with a magic Brass Ring which always showed the direction of north and warned the wearer of danger by growing warm.[2]

The hero used this to explore and map the swamp, completing a quest given by one of three residents of Fenmarge.

It is possible that the hero also took part in other books, either before or afterwards. However, the Brass Ring's powers are so great that possessing it would create large continuity problems for any book in which the hero was the protagonist following this one.
