Eel Marsh Island
At the south-eastern corner of The Blightwood is an island on an eel-infested marsh. At the island's northern end are a collection of standing stones carved with the sign of Melora. The stones were first spotted by Brys, Effi, Tagariel, Kallista and Xyrxina through the bare branches of a winter forest while traveling along the river.
The island was later visited by Aila, Birel, Briar, Krithra and Dramble on a return journey from Klippika. They found three large stone pillars, each ten feet high, supporting a large disc of stone. Aila recognised spirals on the pillars as symbols of Melora, goddess of nature and the wilderness. “That explains all the wildflowers” she remarked. Indeed, the whole area was surrounded by flowers.
At the southern end of the island is a hut with a stove, blankets and a single bed such as might suit a medium-sized person. This hut serves as a refuge in bad weather and is sometimes used by scouts working with the Elven plainspeople.
