Mist Marshes

The Mist Marshes, otherwise known as the Western Wetland, is the most western region of the southern Empire. Known for its freedom-loving and rebellious people, with a fair share of martial conflicts in their history. Although under Imperial status, the region is actively resists conversion and assimilation into the official Imperial society, fighting off both martially and diplomatically the Imperial authorities.

Bordering the southern regions of Kalten Basin and West Plains to the east, the Ever-Mist Peninsula to the south, and the region of Cold Rock to the north, the Mist Marshes are the home-region of the Wybrańcy people, cultural cousins of the Ever-Mist Obraly people. Composed of several autonomous counties, led by their count respectively, currently under an Imperial representative called the Vojvoda.

Early History
After the first migrants from Fornfold moved southwards to colonize the newly acquired continent, many disputes were ignited and several colonizing factions were created; one of the factions were led by Saint Lukasz. Legends tell that Lukasz was gifted with a vision from Lekkivit, God of Light and Heavens, of a land far where the Elven daemons placed their cities that hide many secrets. The prophet and his followers shared the love for knowledge, especially if it could aid humanity and defend against the Elves if ever needed again.

Geography
In the center of the Marshes, is located the Great Swamp, covering a third of the whole region. A practically impassable terrain, with very few trails that lead through it. The swamp is also a home to various ancient Elven settlements, hidden beneath the water and among the trees.

At the southwestern shore there is the Coast Marsh, almost at the level of the Sea of Mists, taking a big portion of the south. An impassable terrain that bears a lot of old ruined settlements of the Wybrańcy.

At the north there are the Middle Mountains, although in reality they are mere high hills.
