It is hard to traverse this marshy region afoot, and almost impossible on horseback. For that reason wooden platforms of all sizes dot this treacherous terrain. A few have lodgings on them, but most just provide safety while waiting for one of a fleet of ferries that run between the platforms, allowing for swift passage through the swamp and out into the bay to the southeast.

Center Platform

The large platform in the center of the swamp has several buildings on it. Some are obviously houses to the locals, and one might even be an inn. The most prominent building on the platform is located right at the dock where several ferries are moored, waiting for passengers to transport. It is used by the Ferry Master as office and makeshift tradepost.

Ferry Master

A short, stocky man regards you over his bone-rimmed glasses. 'Trade or transport?', he asks, scribbling a few more lines on his ledger. The Ferry Master is responsible for the running of the ferries in the area, making travel through the swamp faster and a lot safer. He also is the man to talk to when you're looking to buy or sell trade goods.
