Perse Fens

The Fen is made up of beautiful grasslands, dangerous marshes and numerous streams.

Near the coast, the lowland Eventide Salt Marsh is treacherous, not only for the feral creatures that inhabit it, but because of natural dangers as well. Unlike what the name suggests, the tide rises quickly, and often without warning. A traveler unprepared can find themselves over their heads in water. When the land is exposed, hearty grass and shrubs that are tolerant of salt and anoxic sediment prevail.

Further south, the highland becomes dryer, the conditions more hospitable. The tall grasses in the Fen when blown about in the winds resemble waves of purple, and this is by which the peaceful Fens get their name. In stark contrast to the lowland marsh, this land is quiet and gentle, a calm eye in the midst of a maelstrom.
