The Murab River Delta Marshes

(Because Dust Town is a smaller settlement than Pellod, I'll be spending the rest of this month detailing adventure locations out in the wilderness around both communities, starting with ...)

The Murab River Delta Marshes (#22/30; #112/365)

The Murab River Delta is a murky expanse of reedy salt marsh, dotted with clumps of mangrove trees and the occasional greenish pond. From dusk until dawn it is a misty realm that swallows footloose wanderers whole, while, during the day, it becomes a sun-parched glaring crystalline hell. Nevertheless, many weird folk congregate here, including smugglers, pirates, robbers, and other outcasts, in addition to the marsh's more usual toothsome denizens, as reflected in the below encounter chart:
