Enverren Marsh
Enverren Marsh is part of a secluded estate presided over by the Lord and Lady Enverren. Located west of the gypsy camp of Manusha, Enverren Marsh is nearly impenetrable, surrounded on all other sides by the Northern Ithmia. Upon a solid island in the centre of the marsh is built Castle Enverren, and through a nearby pond lies the entrance to the icy granite caverns.
Culture
Lord and Lady Enverren rule the estate from their castle, with salamandrin attendants to wait on them. In the caverns beneath the swamp dwells a community of Glubbians. Ruled by the chieftan Ullver and his daughter Lupla, the Glubbians worship the nixie Chiada with a reverent devotion.
The relationship between the Glubbians and the Enverrens is a tenuous one. Long ago the mages attempted to enslave the Glubbians, but Chiada freed them and is considered their protector. An affair between Chiada and Lord Enverren long ago resulted in a child, the young girl Venasia, who has been hidden away in the castle without Lady Enverren's knowledge.

Flora and Fauna
The common plants cohosh, bellwort and ash can be found growing in the marsh, though much of the vegetation within is decayed and dying. Tall cypress trees grow upon the island, and a small cultivated garden reveals a number of medicinal herbs for harvesting. Moss and bloodroot, as well as kelp, can be found growing within the icy caverns.
Roaming the murky swampland are rats, slugfish and giant mosquitos. The Glubbers, a grotesque sentient subspecies of the Glubbians, also make their home here. Vicious fire ants can be found in the castle dungeon, and transparent bubblefish swim within the twisting caverns far below.
