Blackfen is a kindgom of lowland marshes spread among squat river valleys. Half of the kingdom is low grassy hills, but the commerce takes place along the banks of the River Allegane. It's name is derived from the dark clay that dominates the soil of the river banks and its mire-like flora and fauna. It enjoys hot, humid summers and mild winters, when the marshes are bone dry. In the Spring and Autumn, however, is the wet season. This time of year, the swamps are bogged by water as the River Allegane overflows and swallows the entirety of the lowlands. | Blackfen is a kindgom of lowland marshes spread among squat river valleys.

Blackfen is a kindgom of lowland marshes spread among squat river valleys. Half of the kingdom is low grassy hills, but the commerce takes place along the banks of the River Allegane. It's name is derived from the dark clay that dominates the soil of the river banks and its mire-like flora and fauna. It enjoys hot, humid summers and mild winters, when the marshes are bone dry. In the Spring and Autumn, however, is the wet season. This time of year, the swamps are bogged by water as the River Allegane overflows and swallows the entirety of the lowlands.
As a result of the marshy climate, Blackfen soldiers are typically lightly armored and carry light weaponry. Their fighters prefer the agility and dexterity allowed by light loads. Hot summer winds can create intense periods of drought and intense heat, which leaves little desire for heavy fighters.
