Great Mud Pits

Home of the hard-working.

The Great Mud Pits are a long way from the comforts of home and sound like they would be an interesting place to go. However, this is not the case. It does not matter which season you travel there in, all you will see is mud and all you will feel is the sadness of the people who drudge that mud.

Of Mud and Water

As the name implies, this region is known for its giant mud lakes. These pits are hard to work and yield only small amounts of food. However, the mud prevents people from contracting cityskin, making it the only export from the area. During this dry season, the lungfish population burrow into the mud, cover themselves with mucus, and leave only small holes that they use to breathe. This is the hardest work season for the Muck Drudgers as they perform the difficult labor of digging the lungfish from the mud.
During the rainy season, they fill with water and become normal lakes. While the lakes are full, the lungfish un-burrow and swim and the divingbirds flock to the lakes to eat them. During this season, asparagus thrives on the lake shore. However, small burrowing rodents eat the roots of the plant.

Muck Drudgers

The people who inhabit the Great Mud Pits are people who have been forced from their homes or who could no longer afford to live in the Long City. Their life here is hard and many of the comforts they are used to are absent but they do what they can.
