The Grog

The Grog was a great swamp located in the southeast of the Whispy Woods.

Geography
The Grog was a series of treacherous bogs, stagnant ponds, half-sunken trees covered in fungus, and quicksand mires which swallowed unwary travelers. Weed-ridden chains of partially-submerged islands led to patches of dry ground which rimmed the swamp, but which themselves contained gullies and ditches. A narrow strip of solid turf lay at the upper reaches of the brackish wetlands.

Loons and other marsh birds -- likely ducks, geese and kingfishers -- plied the waters for minnows and other fish, while toads could be heard croaking within the murky ponds.
