Silent Fields

This realm consists of a wide marsh land where agriculture is mostly impossible. Water loving crops such as rice and cranberries are the mainstays added to the plentiful fish and waterbirds. Small boats navigate the narrow and twisting waterways that open into vast, grassy lakes while shrubs and trees grow thick on any island that rises above the damp.

Many houses are built on stilts, but the availability of good wood in a landscape best suited to growing reeds limits the number of houses that can be constructed—especially since wood is also used for the best boats.

Some people weave the grass into boats or mats, living on floating islands of reeds. Others located near sources of stone, or brave enough to work amid the strange wetland creatures, quarry rock and build solid islands on which to locate small towns.
