The coastal lowlands southeast of Seyiy, where the Elder Wilds meet the Slumbering Abyss.
The Runeglades flood every year. When the seasonal rains come and the rivers swell, the entire region becomes a shallow inland sea. The jungle here has adapted—trees with stilt roots, floating vegetation mats, wildlife that migrates vertically rather than horizontally.
And the dolphins come.
Swimming up from the ocean, pods of freshwater dolphins navigate the flooded forest, hunting fish driven from the deeper channels. They're more intelligent than they should be—following boats, responding to calls, apparently communicating among themselves with clicks and whistles that carry complex information.
The local name "Runeglades" comes from markings found on certain trees and stones—patterns that might be Shemazari writing, might be natural formations, might be something else entirely. During flood season, some of these marked surfaces glow faintly beneath the water. No one has explained why.
