The Bayou

The Bayou is the name of the large, swamp-like lake that inhabits a large portion of the Southern Quarter. Legend says that the Disasters caused the Earth to split open and fetid water and hell-trees sprang up to fill it in, creating the Bayou. The Bayou starts at Red Ridge in the north and stretches down to Ash in the south, where it turns into a river that eventually feeds into the ocean at Crescent.
