THE ROAN MARSHES

Once residents of the lush grasslands, the Roan tribe fled to the marshes during the occupation. The Roan, formerly farmers, adapted quickly to their new home and, along with the Ebresh, were a powerful fighting force against the occupation. The mists which cloud the marshes conceal the Roan’s submersible homes which float just beneath the surface of the black marsh water. Still, the marshes are more accessible than the Vinewall and battles erupt daily over the dark, reed-choked, waterways.

Notable denizens of the Roan Marshes:

Rake: The leathery winged rake, though slow and clumsy on land is a strong flier and an agile swimmer. Trained by the Roan as mounts, many a Roan aquanaut has been saved from the cluster missiles of an attacking Star Striker by a quick-diving rake.
