Resources

The Rushmoor Marshes are a source of a variety of very tall rushes, as tall and strong as bamboo, which is useful as a building material. It is commonly used for building animal pens and stockades. Additionally, the marshes are gradually being drained for agricultural use. However, the marshes are inhabited by various dangerous creatures, including otyughs, lizardfolk, and various reptilian creatures.[2]
