OT: What does "Inkpot End" mean?

Hm. This is one of the rare cases where not even dict.leo.org gives me an idea on how to translate it. Or give an explanation other than what Oversway already said...

The dark fens somewhere beyond the last village on the road. It is a place where the day has never dawned. It is moist and smells of putrecense and disease. Swollen corpses of lepers and staked wizards can be found under clouds of buzzing insects.

Or perhaps it is just something scribbled on a road sign by an old hobo.

Hmm, I guess it is not that I am entirely lacking imagination, but I thought that I was just missing something because of not being a native speaker...

So "end" is merely like in "Land's end" and "inkpot" can stand for anything dark, inklike. Ok.

Hmm, a pool with a dark liquid resembling ink, that never occured to me, although I think that I have seen such places...
