The Drench
The Drench is a series of cold marshlands that lies along the northern edge of Thondia.[1a]
Features
The Drench is a seriers of cold marshlands where Hysh’s light seldom falls, but cloying mists moving in strange patterns are ever-present. The wetlands are punctuated by oddly shaped stony knolls that rise from the muck at random and the echoing cries of swamp creatures bounce about the hills in bizarre ways. All sound is distorted in the Drench, save the droning, maddening nonsense songs of the Jabberslythes who thrive there. Lethal amphibian predators abound, as do several breeds of Troggoths and voracious Sludgeraker Beasts. The dark-hearted Kruleboyz love the Drench, as much as they can love anything. ‘Oh, downright nasty, that ‘un. Keeps ya sharp, it surely does,’ being the general approving consensus amidst their tribes.[1a]
Medicine
Some risk the many dangers involved in travelling to the inhospitable Drench because it holds a number of uniquely potent medicines that can only be found amidst the creatures and flora that thrive there. There are mushrooms that can cure many afflictions, flowers that can instantly ease hideous pain, and it is said the secretions of the squamous brass-toad can promote the slow regeneration of lost limbs. Persistent rumour holds that consuming one of the eggs of the semilegendary lobken, indigenous to the Drench, can even cure Nurgle’s Rot.[1a]
