Sedgemoor

Rainy Lowlands

Much rain comes from the north. The lowlands between Athos and Montaigne are filled with sedges.

Winters here are wet and cold. As a result, the moors are rarely dry and make for poor battlegrounds. 

People do live here, but they are few and hew closely to the coast, where commerce and fishing are best. They have an interesting use of the grass, however: 

“I found the moorlanders method of never using socks in their boots answered well. Socks are never used in winter time, but ‘senne grass’ which they, of course, had a special method of arranging in their boots … if you get wet feet while wearing the grass you will be warmer than ever, as the fresh grass will, by the moisture and the heat of your feet, in a way start to burn or produce its own heat by spontaneous combustion. The key thing seems to be to arrange the grass properly in the boots, and although we all tried to imitate the moorlanders in their skill at this work, none of us felt as warm on our feet as when they had helped us.”

-Victor Montaigne
