Industry & Trade

Bogbrook is well known as an exporter of melons and marrows (green gourds). They grew so many that carts were weighted down with the produce and set out in daily trains for the markets in Marsember.
The village is even more famous for its black wine known as utterdark, or "black Bogbrook water" as it was sometimes called.
Some villagers also poled about on skiffs harvesting catfish, crayfish, trout, and frogs using fishing lines studded with hooks and baited with nightcrawlers, bits of fat, and moldy cheese.

Architecture

Most of the cottages were made of stone, and roofed with boards and turf. They had earthen banks on the sides planted with melon patches and tomato vines, along with cranberry bogs, so that each cottage resembled a garden hill.

Geography

Bogbrook derived its name from a spring that rose there to form a marsh, and a brook that ran from the marsh to Starwater River.
The village was a wild place of bogs and tall grasses. Safe paths through the marsh were marked with posts, so it was easy to avoid getting drowned in the bogs if one stayed on the designated paths and traveled in daylight.
