*Keeper of the Bay-Throne*

**Territory:** The Deep Fens **Known Territory Radius:** 6 days

Pell's Observations

Marshlands possess long memories.

Water records history differently than stone.

Murex appears to understand this intimately.

The Bay-Throne lies among wetlands where ancient things sink slowly rather than disappear.

Visitors often speak of forgotten stories resurfacing.

The dragon seems comfortable with patience.

The marshes certainly are.
