Gutterfen Marshes

“What sinks is lost. What floats is ours.”

The Gutterfen Marshes sprawl across the southern lowlands like a living wound of mist, rot, and relentless life. Goblins raise their homes on stilts, rafts, and the backs of great swamp-beasts, trusting nothing that touches the ground for long.

To outsiders, Gutterfen is filth and danger: poisoned waters, whispering mists, and walkways that creak with both fungus and schemes. To those born of the mire, it is opportunity. Everything the world discards, the marsh keeps— and the goblins claim.

Here, survival is the highest art. Poison is craft, scavenging is culture, and every deal struck in the fog may save your life or sell it.

For a deeper look at life, faith, and stories in the mire, see the Gutterfen Marshes Overview.
