Great Salt Marsh
North of Pontil, the land turns to marsh, sloping from the already low-lying Dresguln Swamp down to the sea. What would be fertile ground is soaked through with ocean water, too saline for most vegetation but too shallow for ocean life. Eerie, twisted shapes rise from the desolate floodplain, distant and half-obscured by ocean fog. They could be weathered standing stones, sinking ancient ruins, or even terrible slumbering beasts if rumor is to be believed. Those that venture far enough to find out seldom return, whether lost to the elements, devoured by monsters, or even swallowed by the earth.
Attempts to expand the northern farmlands into the marsh have proven generally futile, with all the progress of nearly a hundred years barely enough to be worthy of showing on a map, but the reclaimed land is excellent for growing luxury crops, and the estates leading this effort are quite proud of their accomplishments, meager though they may be.
