Unrelenting Marsh

So named because time seems to slow to a crawl while traversing its swamps, this area is rife with dangerous predators, lethal fauna, and ground best left untrusted. Adventurers journeying through this region have frequent combat encounters, a few social encounters, and many natural terrain exploration challenges.

Terrains. Forest, grassland, hills, jungle, ruins, settlement, swamp, temple, tomb, water.

Tiers. Swamp regions with friendly inhabitants might be tier 1, but more hostile places (oft ruled over by ancient dragons or worse) can easily be tier 4.

Weather. 1–5 clear, 6–8 overcast, 9–15 rain, 16–25 mist.

Hard to Hoof. Mounts and pack animals are unable to travel at a fast pace or gallop pace. Additionally, wheeled vehicles cannot travel faster than a crawl.

Journey Activities. Plants harvested during a journey activity are typically very rare. Adventurers gain an expertise die on checks made to Harvest, but on a critical failure the plants are carnivorous, and the adventurer suffers one level of fatigue .
