Brackish Brinelands

Volatile Herb Garden

Volatile Herb Garden is a luminous wetland patchwork—raised peat beds boxed in timber frames and overflowing with bright, bioluminescent blooms that burn like embers against the dark water.

Stormwatch Rise

Stormwatch Rise is a lone hump of higher ground in an expanse of marsh—an exposed peat mound crowned with wet grass and ringed by wind-bent reeds that hiss and bow under the weight of steady rain.

Sunken Vision Pool

Sunken Vision Pool is a mirror-still bog hollow where the water lies unnaturally calm.

Aelwen Crossroot – Marsh Crossing Warden

“Some places are meant to be crossed once—and never lightly.”

Ghaldrin Lowchant – Funerary Warden

“The dead do not ask to be remembered. The living require it.”

Lethai Bloom-Burned – Marsh Herbalist / Vision-Alchemist

“Every cure opens a door. I decide which ones stay shut.”

Koro-of-the-Last-Rain – Marsh Shaman / Weather-Reader

“Rain does not arrive late. It arrives after you fail to listen.”

Old Wetha Brineborn – Bog-Seer / Dreambound Oracle

“The marsh already knows what you’ll choose. It just hasn’t decided how to answer yet.”

Trap Rigged Observation Blind

A deceptively quiet wetland pocket: a murky, reed-ringed pond surrounded by worn footpaths and low stone outcrops, the kind of place that looks like nothing more than a hunter’s rest stop or an old animal wallow.

Sunken Reed Kill Zone

A drowned basin where the water turns deep green-black and the surface never sits still.

Rice Barge Convoy

A slow-moving river train of flat-bottomed craft lashed side-by-side, their decks crowded with grain sacks, coils of rope, and the battered tools of working hands.

Deep Channel Kill Zone

A drowned forest cut where the water turns ink-black and the shoreline collapses into slick mud and exposed roots.
