Nineryn

The Nineryn (S. "Wetwoods"), known colloquially as the Fenwood and Bogwood respectively, were two adjoining woodlands that gathered about the upper course of the River Morthond, as the latter left the Mornan for the wider fields of western Lamedon. These woods were so called because of the marshy character of the river's banks as it passed through them, making foot travel difficult. For this reason, the Nineryn were generally avoided by travelers. The woods were claimed by the Lord of Mornan as a private hunting preserve, and poaching was punishable by heavy fines.
