Mistmarsh

A broad, shallow swamp teeming with reptile life, the Mistmarsh fills the lowlands west and south of the Cairn Hills. Lizardfolk claim certain areas of the deep marsh, and wandering ghoul packs are a danger throughout.
The Mistmarsh is an area of wet ground, grassland, shallow streams, and strange hazards that rests in a bowl-shaped depression in the middle of the Cairn Hills. The marsh is over sixty miles across at its narrowest point. It has no clear border, as it is surrounded by a fringe area of drier grassland. It is named for the harmless mist that lingers from two hours before sunrise to until midmorning, and again for several hours after sunset; the mist limits visibility and also seems to muffle sound.
The waterways are either too shallow for boats or too infested with crocodiles. Small ponds are common but never very deep. The drier parts are muddy (often calf-deep on a human) and occasional “islands” of Mangaroo trees are really just great tangles of roots and branches that require climbing rather than walking.These factors make travel slow in the Mistmarsh, limiting exploration to its fringes except for dedicated adventurers or those with magical means of bypassing its obstacles.
