Westward Marshes

The marshes are widely considered the creepiest part of all Litharia. A dense thicket of trees and a permanent overcast ensures that no sun or moonlight can reach the ground and in that gloom dangerous things have grown. People report lights in the marshes that try to lead them off the path, of giant flowers that try to consume them, and even of parades of deadmen wandering aimlessly over black lakes and quicksand. Where the swamp meets the sea the land just sort of sloughs off and the sea water fr miles out has a filthy black-brown tint.
