Mirewood Fens

The Mirewood Fens lie to the southeast of Crodeux, where the rivers slow and the forests sink into black water and tangled roots. Trees rise like crooked fingers from the muck, draped in lichen and mist. Paths vanish overnight, and the air hums with insects and distant, inhuman calls.

Locals say the Fens were once a forest, swallowed by the land when something below gave way. Others speak of sunken shrines, witchfires on the water, and things that walk without sound. The Wayward Kin avoid the deepest parts, and even the Church won’t send its inquisitors too far in.

Few dare to chart the fens, and those that do return with maps seemingly out of date overnight.
