Hotspring Marshes

The  are, like the name implies, a huge array of swamps, bodies of water and occasional forests. A large river flows through the area and into a steam-covered, pleasantly warm lake. Mountains can be seen in the distance.

At the River
The large river flows through a large field of knee-high grass, which, however, is frequently interrupted by moderately large puddles and mud fields. Several hot springs flow into the river, increasing its temperature and thus enabling many types of plants to grow at its shore. The river flows into quite the large lake, which lies directly over a stream of magma, and thus is even warmer than the river itself.

Lake
The hunter can access the shoreline on foot, which acts like MHWI's hot springs, increasing a hunter's regeneration abilities over time. Additionally, the hunter can jump into the deeper parts of the lake and thus fight monsters underwater. A large, fog-covered field of mud - reminiscent of a similar area in the Wildspire Waste - is at the southern shore.

Mud Fields
Much like the name already suggests, this part of the locale is coated with dense and hard to traverse mud, which can restrict movement of hunters and monsters alike. Sometimes there are holes hidden underneath the mud, which can transform into dangerous traps. There are occasional elevations, on which lupines and other plants grow, giving the whole area a purplish hue.
