Rush Margins

Rush Margins is a fishing village located in the south of Munchkinland, off the shores of Illswater.   It was the home of Frexspar the Godly and Melena Thropp (as well as the birth place of their daughter, Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West). The village is mostly inhabited by fishermen. Rush Margins is part of the Wend Hardings region of Munchkinland, which according to Cattery Spunge, is peasant ridden, filthy, and depressed.  

History

Rush Margins was hit hard by the Great Drought. The villagers were also accustomed to their Unionist Minister, Brother Frexspar, to preach to them and make them stay loyal to the Unnamed God.   The village was once visited by the Clock of the Time Dragon. The village indulged in the pleasure faith and shunned their Unionist Minister, beating him quite severely, before his wife took him to a cellar for safety. A large pack of them went hunting, under instructions by the Dwarf and the Clock, to find and kill Frexspar and his wife, Melena.
