Modreille is a sprawling lowland marshland spanning the continent's midsection, serving as a massive natural barrier. Positioned mostly below sea level, it traps runoff to create a shifting landscape of bogs and silt. While northern lands enjoy stable roads, travel here relies on low-draft barges. This region is a vital trade corridor where mercantile ratfolk maintain fragile outposts on rare plateaus. Survival in Modreille requires constant adaptation as the very ground fluctuates with every rainy season.
