Heartsblood Marsh
Located dozens of leagues south of the city, Heartsblood Marsh is a bizarre swamp where the tips of the mushroom forest climb hundreds of feet into the sky, and the air is alternately thick with clouds of spores or buzzing insects. Disease is rampant and for that reason alone most travelers avoid it. Huge roaming insects are forever feasting on the blood rich fungus, one another, and the unwary while savage grippli “rule” the swamp, many empowered by weird magic with rumors of other, worse things at its core.
