The bogs of Narlann, the land of the Whispering Marsh are today a broad expanse of marshlands and salt flats.  Through this the Janek and numerous tributaries ply a winding course pass great swathes of bog, dead trees and muddy lakes.  The bogs of Narlann existed even in the time of the Hollow Lands, and the Imperium, and were generally shunned.   Spirits and abominations were said to walk its hidden paths and never was it said to be inhabited except by those fleeing the laws of king or priest.Thus, hours after the passing of the lake, the boat and its crew again made landing under the westering sun and camped upon an islet in the middle of the bogs.  The next morning, however, revealed the disappearance of two of the villagers, their trail leading off into the marshes.  It was decided that they must be found, and thus the companions set off in search.  The villagers' trail was joined by a third set of prints and finally all were replaced a single set of larger, more feral footprints.As already pointed out by this sage, the Narlann is a forbidding place, home to abominations and things best forgotten.  The companions followed this strange trail and avoiding several pitfalls came to a foul bridge, built solely of bones and ending at the opening of a briar hedge...  </blockquote>
