the Sink

The Reivers' Marshes are a mixture of labyrinthine bog marches and flooded, cold swamp forests. Travellers leaving the safety of the loch's coastline, past the village of Wylburgh‌ and the Lochwylside‌ harbour, will need to stick closely to the Burgh Causeway‌. The Causeway is the main safe route through Lowside‌ skirting the market town of Willknowe‌.
‌
‌ The largest and most dangerous peat bog is situated around the settlement of Mirkwode‌. The Mirkwode Bog‌ is punctuated by jagged low hills, which are also very dangerous in their own way.

Further east, towards the wilder part of the marshes, submerged forests trace unknowable patterns on the landscape. This part of the Marshlands is called the Sink. Only very few communities manage to eke out a living in the cold, drowned forests and glades.

Small villages such as Wylmire remain hidden within the swamps and are hard to reach if you do not know the safe paths through the bogs.
