Elvenmire Wetlands

This great marsh formed at the drainage basin of the Drakeclaw Mountains, where hundreds of small streams collect into a slug gish wetland. Tall reeds, weeping trees, and rocky outcroppings jut out from shallow lakes and deep muddy fens.

The wetland takes its name from the numerous ruins found throughout the marsh, many attributed to the ancient elves. There are slender towers which extend deep into the earth and are flooded by the marsh waters. Travelers wonder whether or not the elves originally constructed these ruins underground or if they are larger structures which sank into the bog. Many ruins consist of a plinth poking above the surface with a hatch which opens into a great chimney or shaft heading downward. However, the elves live here no longer; only their vengeful ghosts remain. Keening wails can be heard on nights of the new moon.

The Elvenmire is also home to many wild creatures and beasts who haunt the misty wetlands. Rumors of ghouls, trolls, and many other foul creatures have given the swamp a reputation for being a dangerous place to travel through.

Many of the continent’s swamps are home to Fungal Trolls as well. In any place where fungus is common, there is a chance of a Troll Hag/Coven starting a garden of Fungal Trollings. Swamps are seldom inhabited by humans, and so make prime locations for Fungal Troll farms, and burrows of all sorts of trollkin.
