The confluence of dozens of streams
and runoff flows have pooled within the
southwestern lowlands of Humblewood,
creating a vast wetland. The water here
gradually filters out to the Talongrip
Coast and into the sea. Before it does, the
still, muddy freshwater reservoirs allow
the Mokk Fields to support a surprising
array of life.
The fringes of the Mokk Fields are
wreathed with reeds, water lilies, and
pleasant greenery. Farther into the heart
of the swamp, travelers find themselves
inundated by stagnant, foul-smelling
waters and muddy lowlands with poor
footholds. Patches of dry stable ground
are scarce, meaning that the slimy, gnarled
trees that grow here are rarely suitable to
support a perch.
The Mokk Fields are not a popular
travel destination, especially for birdfolk accustomed to towering trees and
bustling perches. Still, some venture here
seeking the area’s unique resources. Plants
and creatures found only in the swamp
are useful for potion brewing or magical
reagents, and there is good coin to be made
for people willing to brave the area’s many
dangers. Of special note are the slimes,
dangerous ooze creatures exclusive to this
environment, whose residue has become a
sought-after commodity for those with the
skill to harvest it.
One of the more unlikely landforms of
the Mokk Fields is the intricate, vast cavern
system that runs beneath the swamps.
Years ago, what was thought to be sinkholes were revealed to in fact be tunnel
entrances to a series of caves. Scouts from
Winnowing Reach have probed the depths
to learn more about these caverns. The few
who have returned reported a significant
number of slimes. The damp, lightless
caverns make a perfect home for the amorphous creatures that dwell here.
