Make any relevant corrections. I took a lot of liberties with the history and filled in a number of gaps with shit I made up, in particular. Also, while researching this, I noticed a connection between LE's ring of the turtle priest, the golden turtle flags in Al's eagle vision, and the dragon turtle temple guardians. Not sure if I am late to the party on this one, or if we all missed this. Was the turtle a symbol of one of the Demi-pantheon? Is there any background on the turtle imagery that we are privy to? --Msallen

I'm betting that no one bothered to notice this because it did not impact loot acquisition activities. *sigh* All of these things are connected, yes. TURTLES! -gm

Natural Resources in a Swamp

Natural iron-rich water seepages can form actual ingot that looks crazy and resists ruts when it's made into goods. Also, cursed bog iron has a nice ring as a material for magic item creation.

You know what's funny about item materials? There is no way to overcome Silver/1 DR. -Slitherrr
What?
1/Silver DR means 1 damage is reduced from any non-Silver weapon. Any weapon made of silver is -1 to damage. Ergo, 1/Silver DR is effectively 1/- DR. I don't know any monsters with only 1/Silver DR, but it's still funny. -70.188.41.34
I worry about you. -gm

I didnt realize this, but peat is an early stage in the transition between biomass and coal. Also, it has great insulating properties and has a number of agricultural uses.

Fun AND educational.
