The Dehill Bog
The Dehill Bog is a large bog located at northern Celliwig. It is well known for unique sinkholes that make life difficult to those unprepared.
Celliwigian legends forbid people from travelling, claiming an abundance of witches and fae-like creatures.
Geography
The Dehill Bog is the largest known wetland in the Boundless Expanse, with nearly endless planes of peat and moss that make travel difficult
The soil is impossibly loose, and can even flow like water during the wetter seasons. The water itself goes down to a few meters but the runny soil can prove to be far more hazardous
Ecosystem
The ecosystem of the bog is similar to that of other bogs, with some notable exceptions.
Localized Phenomena
The most dangerous part of the Dehill Bog is the frequency of sinkholes more akin to maritime whirlpools than terrestrial sinkholes. Such anomalies can immerse tons of plant matter and soil at once, making settling down in one location impossible. Plant matter can be buried deep underground for weeks before resurfacing in a completely different location
Fauna & Flora
Highly specialized moss and fungi call the Dehill Bog home, having adapted to the significant amount of time stuck underground after being caught in a sinkhole. Some aquatic animals have developed precise senses to detect sinkholes before they happen, while others have adapted to surviving in the soil and feeding off submurged plant matter. Non-aquatic animals are rare, as there is very little solid land. Those that exist, such as the great lagomorph, are nomadic and naturally skilled in crossing the unstable layer of peat in fast speeds.
Natural Resources
There is not many resources of worth here. Attempts have been made to fish here, but the fish famously being unappetizing and is often described as tasting 'moldy', and the amount of effort and risk that goes into fishing in such a location makes such attempts unideal
