The Evermire is a vast subtropical swamp stretching out for miles and miles. Two large rivers empty into the swamps and the central Notama Lake. The Everglades are shaped by water and fire, experiencing frequent flooding in the wet season and drought in the dry season. Subject to hurricanes.
Halflings migrated to this area from Nicoboa and formed two warring tribes. In the halfling language the land is called Bimini.

Pirates
Due to its distance from Alexandria and its difficult terrain, the Evermires are a haven for pirates. Anti-pirate law is strict here, though and many outlaws find that being caught has much heftier consequences than in Allure to the north. Pirate Hunters are popular in the waters as well, and some say the hunters are worse then the hunted.
