I decided long ago that my lore wiki is primarily for my reference. Then once in a while someone will actually remind me of what the lore is because they went through and read it.

WRT to the rabbit one, "The Warren" is an excellent stripped down Apocalypse World hack based on Watership Down. It's an EXCELLENT game and honestly the best system for horror I've ever come across. I've never been so terrified playing an RPGs as when my lame rabbit was limping across a golf course and a hawk started circling overhead...

Similarly Call of Cathulhu was pretty fun as well (based on CoC mechanics but you're cats). Having "angry seagulls" be a real threat when you're trying to deal with eldritch things from behind the stars is great fun.

This reminded me that I was quite surprised when I learned about the many words the English language has for places full different kinds of wetland (the mentioned four, but also quagmire being only the ones I encounter on a semi-regular basis), whereas in German it is mostly the plain "Sumpf". So clearly the Englishmen love their pieces of wet mud a lot more than we do

less love as hating it is a nation sport, more a needed difference so you know what you are dealing with.

I assume sarcasm.

It seems I have not been deemed worthy to visit the sacred swamps, yet. On the two occasions when I visited the UK, only urban areas, a bit of the sea side and some - admittedly really lovely - rolling hills with deciduous trees were shown to me. I suspect I have to gain the trust of the locals first on future trips.

Ah yes, the sacred wetlands whose vegetation consists of trees and other woody plants

A lot of the UK is ex-wetland, including London. Hence the Thames barrier.

Did we have “morass” as another synonym, often shortened to “moss” in northern English place names (e.g. Leighton Moss)?

Link. I swear this is every YouTube video I try to watch these days. Long winding introductions instead of just getting to the information you clicked on the video to learn.
