Seckendorff Marsh

"The flower that blooms in adversity is the most beautiful flower of all."
The Seckendorff Marsh is a large area of swamps and wetland located to the North of Huiran. According to legend, the ground was turned watery from the stream of Octavia's tears after the discovery of the Convalla Prison.

Geography
Far from equator, the marsh has a cold climate, and is often buffeted by storms travelling up the Celiria Channel.

Home to a wide variety of plants and wildlife adapted to its difficult conditions, as well as several minor civilizations, the marsh is a deceptively busy location.

It lies in the shadows of the dark mountains built by the god Thaliyn, and it is unclear whether these peaks had any influence in the swamp's grim appearance.

Foilage
Most of the land is covered in thick grasses, rushes and reeds, suited to the flooded ground and open heathland. All plant life in the region has adapted to living in wet and muddy conditions, with many types of low shrubbery and small trees.

Of note is the common Shanghai Lily, a white flower growing on the surface of pools of water. Strikingly beautiful in such a place, the lily is often picked by Witches as an ingredient of Love Magic. It is grown by the minor magical abilities of the Familiar Fairies.

Fauna
Roaming the sodden fields of the marsh are the Fleetlin Foxes, a few enormous herds of Lume Caribou, occaisonal packs of Grey Wolves, and many many thousands of Familiar Fairies, arguably not wildlife and more a primitive sentient race.
