# The [[Marshes]]
The **Marshes** are a vast stretch of cold, misty swampland beyond the [[River Ivlis]]. The terrain is thick, difficult to navigate, and grows so dark beneath the vegetation that travelers can quickly lose all sense of direction without a guide.
The Gang first entered the [[Marshes]] in [[011_20260807 Session 11#Scene 5 The Snail Rider|Session 11]] while escorting **Vito** as he gathered alchemical ingredients from **corpse flowers** and a **devil bow**. They learned:
- The Marshes are home to numerous undead, including ghosts, zombies, and bodaks.
- Carnivorous plants also grow throughout the area.
- Dark fey creatures live here as well and are better left unprovoked.
- Muriel described the Marshes as the domain of [[Baba Lysaga]].
