So killed Elder, went looking for seeds in the Swamp, at least that was the idea. At the edge had to fight the expected leeches and blobs, and just for fun the game decided I needed to meet draugr and skeletons. If that wasn't enough it then threw a wraith at me, thought the coast was clear, stepped into the Swamp, and an Abomination came after me. All this and haven't even made it 5 meters into the Swamp yet on this run!

I'd like to hear from others with tales of initial Swamp entry gone sideways.

[edit] Finally did get my seeds though and had to run from the Abomination to escape the Swamp with them.

Really hoping for this same type of experience when first exploring the Mistlands. If it was easy it wouldn't be as much fun!
