Phelgmatic Peatland

Phelgmatic Peatland is a type of terrain on the Island of Woad, characterized by land which is boglike, made mostly of decomposing matter, and relatively still waters during the dry season of the year. It is thought to be a manifestation of Maud and Koidios, and it is characterized by unstable/uneven ground, miasma, mangroves, and subterranean/geothermal heat.

Principles of the Choleric Badlands Terrain

• Benevolent Peat, which massively slows down the decomposition of organic matter, but more importantly, has strange effects when mixed with inorganic matter - rather than eating it, the inorganic matter seems to devour the peat and has the ability to revive itself or copy its genes. This was discovered by examining the graves of various Milenakos and Nachkoma whose bodies were preserved differently - 33% of the Nachkoma buried in peatlands eventually rise from their graves.
• Breathing Mire, a law consisting of the effects of stagnant waters and anoxic decomposition, which lead to a constant miasma of gases - particularly hydrogen sulfide and methane. It causes the air to become corrosive, altering the pigments of objects, as well as distorting the ability to see, hear, and smell. This also causes illusions of light and sound and serious disorientation.
• Law of the She-Wolf which increases the fecundity and potency of its flora and fauna, but there is a significant toll and risk in aquiring these ingredients, including ones which take the life force or sensory perceptions (both temporary and permanent) as an exchange for their potency - sometimes this is due to them being sentient
• The Phelgmatic Peatlands encapsulates these three laws, assigning them to the domain of Maud and Koidios, dictating that slow and thorough decay creates and destroys new pathways in the environment, becoming a full entity in itself
