Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable.
Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background. For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book.

Very few humans murky wilderness stands in sharp contrast to the have seen this wide expanse of open water; the desolation of the Badlands or the arid emptiness of Guild's first and only expedition to the edges of the the Northern Hills not only due to how wet it is, but Bayou were enough to convince it that eastward also because of how much life thrives beneath its expansion was a waste of their time and resources.
The Blackrill River flows south from the Ten Peaks The borders of the Bayou are easy to define, at least into the heart of the Bayou, where it splits into on its western and southern edges.
The Ten Peaks countless tributaries and marshes. In the spring, mark the northern boundaries of the swamp, and meltwater from the mountains causes the Frostrun it is from there that the Frostrun River cuts a path and Blackrill Rivers to flood, turning the northern southward, dividing the western edges of the Bayou third of the Bayou in a shallow, brackish lake.

The southern stretches water levels gradually recede in the summer and of the Bayou taper away quickly as they meet the autumn months before cooling in the winter, with Badlands, but the boundaries between the two are the temperature often dropping low enough to cover mostly measured by moisture; if the ground is wet, the Bayou in frost, but rarely so low as to freeze you're still in the Bayou, and when it dries out, you've anything but the shallowest of ponds.
The have long since been reclaimed by the marshes, and soil here is typically wet and muddy, with sporadic it's not uncommon to see broken, moss-covered hammocks and islands of firm ground appearing spires or aqueduct-like stone architecture jutting with greater frequency as one travels further south. The bulk of these ruins are buried Shrubs and underbrush cling to every bit of semi- beneath thousands of years of sediment, slime, and solid ground they can find, and the water flows in a water, and many of them have become the breeding slow current toward the massive crater known as the grounds for the Bayou's native Silurid population.
Red Cage. Stories that make their way back to Earth often paint This wound in the earth is relatively recent, having the Bayou as a breeding ground for carnivorous, appeared in Most of the people of Malifaux flesh-eating plants, and while it's true that such believe a meteorite struck the Bayou, leaving an vegetation can be found within the swamp, most of incredibly large impact crater behind.
In actuality, it isn't dangerous to humans. Bladderworts, pitcher the meteor was the Red Cage, a prison created plants, and sundews can all be found within the countless years earlier to imprison the Tyrant Bayou, but few grow large enough to pose a threat known as Cherufe, and the crater is not the result to anything larger than a mouse, let alone a fully of an impact, but was rather caused by the release of grown human.
Two notable exceptions are the Wandering Drosera, a type of mobile sundew native to the eastern bogs, Today, the crater that bears the Red Cage's name and the Snaptooth Creeper, a gigantic snap trap plant. The environmental Drosera prefers to capture its prey in tentacles that effects of the crater - namely a drop in the average are covered with sticky digestive juices, the Snaptooth water level of the Bayou's swamps and marshes Creeper uses whip-like tendrils to capture prey and - has been felt across the entire ecosystem.
The drag it into range of its many clamp-like mouths. As one travels further east, the forested swamps of the south and the flooded northern lakes give way to bogs, fens, and quagmires. These wetlands are not forested, with only the occasional hillock breaking up wide expanses of grasses, mosses, and standing water. Much of the water here is blanketed by a layers of floating vegetation such as algae and water lilies, and grass-like plants such as reeds and cattails are also common.
In Spawn Mother. This alpha female takes charge the flooded northern stretches, fish such as the of her brood, mating with the younger males and Bayou cod, marsh carp, and all manner of catfish forcing them to find food for her future children. Most species of fish in the Bayou grow to be anywhere between eight to fourteen inches in A Spawn Mother lays her eggs in the autumn and can length, and nearly all are omnivorous.

Unlike the gators of Earth, which can be which are studded with sharp bone-spurs that cut rendered relatively harmless by holding their jaws into the trapped creature like knives.
As its future closed, the jaw muscles of Bayou gators are much meal struggles, the Rattler bites it over and over better developed. Many would-be gator wrestlers again, tearing away great chunks of flesh with each have ended up as surprised meals after assuming venom-laced bite.

Female Gremlins, the race of small, green-skinned humanoids known however, are not built to cope with that many as Gremlins. On its own, a single Gremlin isn't very children.

The birds, which are whatever seemingly edible things they come across. Gremlin corpse delivered to one of their outposts. This has made Gremlin hunting a popular past time Overall, being a young Gremlin in the Bayou is a for mercenaries who are between work, and it's not risky business. At best, only six out of twenty ever difficult to earn a living wage collecting Gremlin make it to adulthood. Males outnumber females at bounties. It's also not terribly safe; where there's a rate of ten to one, but the survival rates are higher one Gremlin, there's often a dozen more, and it's among females as their comparative rarity makes very easy for a would-be bounty hunter to find them more likely to be a favorite with their mother.
This hair is almost uniformly stiff family for whatever that is worth. If a Gremlin fails and black, and it's considered attractive to weave it its trial, the family is expected to ostracize the failure into long braids.
Male Gremlins, on the other hand, and cast him or her out into the Bayou to survive on are almost always bald from birth, though most find their own. Those few males who are How much a given settlement adheres to this fortunate enough to be blessed with a full head of expectation varies.
Given the importance and relative hair tend to do fairly well for themselves and are rarity of female Gremlins, for instance, they're often often their mother's favorites, either because of given easier trials than their brothers, but should one how rare they are or simply because their mother fail, the rules of the trial are usually hastily rephrased confused them for a girl.
It's just not a good idea to toss a young lass in the prime of It only takes about six years for a Gremlin to reach her breeding years into the swamp where she could maturity, but even then, they never quite stop be killed or, worse, adopted by another rival family. The average adult Gremlin stands from three to three and a half feet tall, but with enough Even if a Gremlin is cast out of its settlement, time and enough food , a healthy Gremlin can add however, it can still find safety and camaraderie by up to another foot to its height.

Gremlins, eaten by pigs, snapped up by gators, or killed by any number of other hazards in the Bayou long before old age becomes a threat. Some positions are even highly contested. The most prominent position to which most Gremlins can One of the greatest strengths of the Gremlin race is reasonably aspire assuming they do not have such their talent for mimicry. Gremlin children learn by an inflated ego as to assume they can become the watching and imitating older Gremlins.
If a Gremlin boss of their village is that of slop hauler. The task is lucky enough to be favored by its mother, then of feeding a village's pigs is inherently dangerous, but it will often end up copying her more than anyone slop haulers get to dig through the slop and pick out else, at least until it is weaned and its mother has a the choicest morsels for themselves before bringing new brood of young Gremlins to worry about.
When this happens, the young Gremlin will often The irony, then, is that as a slop hauler takes advantage join its less fortunate siblings in following around of the perks of her job, she gradually becomes fatter whatever older Gremlin will tolerate their presence.
Even when a Gremlin end up waiting longer and longer for their meals. Gremlins watching from the sidelines, making note of what their elders are doing so that they can repeat It's this natural talent for mimicry that makes the same mistakes a decade later.
Gremlins so adept at adapting to human customs. A little over a century ago, the Gremlins had little care for the concept of clothing, but now - as with human society - clothing has become a symbol of status among their communities While most Gremlins try quite hard to avoid picking up any useful skills - those who do are invariably expected to do more work - there are a few who do eventually end up specializing at one or more various tasks.
Sometimes this is a matter of necessity, such as when the last of a village's scouts is eaten by Gators and another is needed, but most often such assignments come about as a result of either random chance i. Bayou chicken eggs Food Production in the Bayou are much larger than gator eggs, often reaching over eight inches in diameter, but they're also more Meat forms a key part of the average Gremlin diet, fiercely protected by their parents.

By far the riskiest of the eggs in the Bayou, however, Alligators - or just "gators," as the Gremlins call them are skeeter eggs. The giant mosquitoes don't - are an important secondary source of protein, particularly care about the safety of their eggs, but though they tend to be more difficult to hunt than they tend to linger in the vicinity, making any attempt pigs.
Blast fishing is the popular method of securing the steal the admittedly delicious eggs an exercise in gator meat. The exact process varies from hunter to foolishness. Any Gremlin spotted by the skeeters is hunter, but the favored approach is to simply find snatched up and drained of its blood, then implanted out where a gator is and then hurl a stick of dynamite with a host of small eggs that incubate in the warmth into the water.
