The Low Country

The Low Country is a flat plain rising from the Crescent Sea coast to a line of inland hills and green fields interspersed with briny marshland. There are no good locations for a port along the shore, so this area has never been settled in any material way. On the fields above the lowlands are clusters of small, colorful homes, inhabited by halflings who know where plants can grow.
The halflings tend to avoid the marshy lowlands of the Low Country, which are too soft to support buildings and too salty to permit anything to grow other than marsh grasses, which wave in the coastal breeze and conceal numerous dangerous sinkholes, pits, and areas of watery, loose mud and dirt that act like quicksand to the unwary. Because of the dangers of the marsh, the halflings of the Low Country are generally left alone, even by Olduvarian tax collectors.
