The Foetor



"The rancid crop grows unchecked and abhorrent..."

- The Academic

The Foetor is a Location in Darkest Dungeon II.

Once, it was an idyllic landscape of abundant farmland, filled with honest farmers. Now, it festers, a scene from the darkest depths of hell. Towering mountains of horrid flesh have burst from the earth, twisting through the sky. Though horrid in appearance, the meat gives off a tantalizing aroma that is near irresistible.
