The Creaky
Like their colleagues in the desert, the Creaky protect a vital commercial axis that serves the second import/export hub of Ménicéa that is Dornôme. The marsh does not help them either, sometimes hot, sometimes wet, sometimes cold. It goes without saying that the area is also swarming with bandits who know the swamps better than anyone and who do not hesitate to attack caravans and even groups of few soldiers.
The presence of the Black Marsh does nothing to secure the premises, making the protection of the road all the time complicated and unpredictable. Patrols are less frequent than elsewhere but made up of more heavily armed soldiers. They also strongly advise the merchants to wait for a patrol to follow them or to hire mercenaries, so to engage alone in the crossing of the region is suicide for the few that one has goods on oneself.
The Creaky have four barracks, one at Dornome, shared with the local guards, another one halfway through the swamps, one at its entrance and a last one halfway to Nélandra.
