In the swamps, beyond the Tortigi lands, is a place with a huge marsh. It is rough going here-- The marsh is deep, deeper then the tallest Minos.
Here, tho, life flourishes. The moss is thick, the trees are stronger then steel. The grass and vines are difficult to cut.
And the creatures! Strong things, extremely difficult to kill.
In the center of this marsh is a large hill, covered in the thickest, toughest grass in the entire marsh.
