Balik Wetlands
"To love a swamp, however, is to love what is muted and marginal, what exists in the shadows, what shoulders its way out of mud and scurries along the damp edges of what is most commonly praised."The Balik Wetlands are dominated by mangrove saltwater forests at the coastline, cypress swamps in the transition zone, and bamboo groves at the comparatively dry inland areas (which are still quite wet). The muddy terrain in the region is difficult to traverse and the land is deemed unproductive, with the wetlands being mostly used for fishing and hunting as opposed to agriculture. To complicate this, a large concentration of venemous and/or poisonous creatures fill the swamps, making travel dangerous even to those who are heavily armored. Armies struggle to move through this region and are easily prone to ambush from the thick bamboo and mangroves, making Balik Fortress is one of the most naturally defended settlements in all of Tyras.
