South of the Pool of Yeven lies the Glaun Bog, a region of treacherous marshes. The bog is mined for peat and pig iron by the Tasseldalesmen, and its waterfowl and game are hunted for meat and fur. The Glaun Bog is relatively free of monsters and bandits, but its shifting patches of quicksand and mire make it dangerous to the unguided traveler.
On a small islet near the bog?s center there is an ancient barrow or grave-mound. Like the Barrow Field of Mistledale, it appears to predate even the elven presence in this area. Unlike the Barrow Field, the Glaun Barrow has been opened and explored. It is said that the adventurers discovered a large hoard of ancient gold, but that the explorers each came to a mysterious and terrible end in the weeks that followed the opening of the tomb.
The folk of Tasseldale insist that the Barrow is an evil place and refuse to go anywhere near it.
