Faded Morass

The Faded Morass is a dangerous expanse of wetland located to the north. Mostly flat and wide open, its wet plains are an ideal habitat for monsters too large or aquatic to traverse the woods around Gran Veya. The local tree species grow farther apart than in other parts of the world, separated by their vast root systems which reach far and deep across the Morass to anchor their enormous trunks. These are the tallest trees on the continent by far, towering high above the largest monsters and even most manmade structures. Millions of years of their sprouting, dying, and waterlogged decay have created an ultra-fertile peat bog rich in flammable carbon and methane. Wildfires said to have started back in the time of the Wyverian hunters are still smoldering here, burning beneath the ground and creating a constant source of heat to sustains the Morass' many cold-blooded residents.

Real World Inspirations
The Faded Morass is inspired primarily by the real-life super forests that once covered Earth 360-300 million years ago, during the Carboniferous period. Modern peat bogs and American swamplands were also used as reference.
