Suggested Characteristics

West of T’nari and south of Kutzan the Drivan River splits into two. The land between them is an inhabitable stretch of swampy marshland known only as the Great Marsh. The land is saturated and only held together at all by the mass of plant life. Cypress, weeping willow, lilies, reeds and moss would make this place beautiful if it were not so very dangerous. Vile creatures of every ilk stalk the waters watching for unwary travelers. Ancient tales speak of a lost sunken city, but in recorded memory no-one has found it.
