Blackmarsh

Blackmarsh is one of The Twenty Realms, north of Coldoak, west of Drachurst and south of Glymlund.

History
Ancestral home of the Swampfolk.

Geography
Blackmarsh is as its name suggests, covered in dark and moody peat-bogs and soggy swamps interspersed with sinister thick rooted trees drowning in the foul swampwater of the realm. Very little of the realm is actually dry ground and fully stable, the reason for so few castles or fortified structures of any kind.

Blackmarsh is a hostile and unforgiving land, which is as treacherous as it is miserable. The sun rarely reaches through the sinister swampwoods growing, providing eternal darkness and gloominess for the average traveller. To navigate through Blackmarsh and survive you would need a guide, and even then the continuance of one's existence isn't exactly entirely ensured.
