The Thousand Lakes

Marsh Elves were amongst the first to call the land of a thousand lakes home. Some communities still survive, plying the waterways on their floating islands, but interlopers have pushed most out. When the first humans arrived they found a land of plenty, free from the despotic rule of kings and queens. They were able to found new communities away from the prying eyes of their neighbours. Some survived and became one of the few towns that sit on the rivers but many vanished into the murky water.
The towns of Fishholme, Bend and Gan River prospered but it was Arshen that became the most powerful. It sits at the edge of the lakes where the two largest rivers join before flowing onwards to Sespian and the wooden city of Dragsbat. With control of the Oswine and the Gan, Arshen dominates all trade coming in or out of the lakes and exacts a tax that many find excessive.
The region is one of outstanding beauty but also one of great danger. Ancient beings and forgotten gods lurk in the deep pools eager to claim the souls of any foolish enough to stray from the path.

The Thousand Lakes

Open full size

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.
