Gnatmarsh

The Gnatmarsh is an extensive area of very treacherous wetlands on the western border of, and nominally claimed by, Nyrond.
The Nesser River would be the preferred means of travel between the Nyr Dyv and Sea of Gearnat, as it is navigable for its whole length even to deep-draft seafaring ships, if not for the Gnatmarsh. It is still well traveled except in the summer when insect swarms are horrific. Desperate swamp-folk pole about on flat-bottomed boats, fishing and trapping. The leader of a witch coven in the swamp, the so-called Weird of Gnatmarsh, has not been seen since being defeated by the archmage Warnes Starcoat some years ago.
