The Black Marsh is located within the Shadow Rift to the east of the drier areas of the Stowndowns.[1] Though areas of this salt-laden swamp bear more plant life (even all but suffocated by with) than the rest of the Stowndowns[1], all of the Black Marsh is dangerous thanks to the dangerous denizens, uncertain mires, and other terrors of the Marsh.[2] The incorporeal undead of the saugh are a particular danger here, for it is their favored haunting ground.[1][3] As a dread possibility, the Marsh itself may eat away at a person's psyche through melancholy, causing depression and eventual death by sinking into the Marsh's morass.[4]
Several waterways feed into the Marsh, including the Grimfey Flow traveling north and the Nightrush traveling southeast.[5]
