Red Fang Chapter 39

At midday, they passed through a gorge with red stone cliffs on either side. The sun had come out, warming the air and filling the sky with insects, prey to the birds that darted over the boat.

“Is this your ridge?” Samuel asked Dren. “Must be,” Dren said. “That puts the Gan River to the west and the fort three, maybe four days travel to the south. We’ll see the mountains long before we reach them though.” “Big, are they?” Davey asked as he pulled on an oar. “Big?” Dren snorted. He had the baby asleep in his arms and he rocked him gently from side to side. “There’s a mountain peak at the centre of the range that is the highest point in the whole of Nostvary. The Dwarves have these tunnels that go all the way up and they say that from the peak they can see everything. They might even be watching us right now.”

Nestled in the shadow of the Intraana mountain range is a vast land of marsh and forest. Rivers pour in from both the north and south flooding the region until it's more lake than land and yet it is home to more life than any outsider could imagine. Hidden among the reed beds are villages and farms, not all sited on dry land, some float. The villages of the marsh elves drift with the seasons, following the migrations of birds and fish, ignored by the humans as long as they don't get too close. A human king claims dominion and is ready to shed blood to prove it, not his but those of his men, marching them into the swamp to kill and needlessly die. But there are still places where people can hide from tyrants and create homes and communities of their own.
