Tun Marshes

The middle portion of the Tun River on a southerly flowing passage, bogs down into the low and densely vegetated Tun Marshes. Originating in the Farsea Marshes, the river winds south with few bends. The specific region is home to many creatures both magical and mundane. Few reputable humans call it home but those who do are Swamp Drovers on a par with those of the north albeit a little more hardy and barbarous due to their proximity to uncivilized hostiles. It has held a substantial bandit population for a number of years.

Unlike the northern Farsea, the Tun Marshes were never openly populated by any race of sentient other than the dragons who lair there and the various lizardfolk tribes. The bandits, mostly human in racial identity, are new arrivals who were outlawed refugees fleeing Cormyrean justice.

The swamplands are large enough a region to sustain a substantial human population. Last recorded at or around 1000 bandits. Reptilian tribes having a slightly lower number and sharing the regions available food supply as far as prey animals and fauna.

These cultures have been covered in brief in previous works. This notation will serve simply for a regional detail to shed light on the region in relation to surrounding Tunlands area.
