Geography of the March

==Haeflar Hills==
Aside from the Nibwaith forest, these hills mark the northern border of The March. There are few villages here, as the Halflings dislike venturing so far north. The Haeflar Hills are considered the edge of civilization, and people who become violent or unreasonable are said to have gone 'Beyond the Hills.'
==Redding Swamp==
This swamp serves as the main protection from the Mizanians to the south, though in truth most invasions take place far to the west. The Haeflar spend a lot of time fishing in the northern reaches, and a small group have resumed the ways of the Riverfolk, their kin in the Wildlands. The Haeflar do not venture far into the swamp for they fear the great Hornets which make their home here, as well as the monster which reputedly lives in its depths (most likely a crocodile). A road has been built through the swamp to facilitate the movement of Ardanian soldiers to the border, and Haeflar children often sit nearby to watch the big-folk.
==Holham Woods==
These woods were once the home to the Dinglederrys; however, the soldiers to the south began to chop the trees for fire and fletching, and the Dinglederrys kicked up a fuss and moved away. The Dinglederry Hall is still here, abandoned, though hobbit-folk claim its haunted with the ghost of the Great Dinglederry, a matriarch who refused to leave her home.
==Nibwaith Forest==
This forest was given to the Halflings for the cultivation of fruit, the hunting of game, and firewood. The Halflings are a conscientious folk, and replant whatever they take, so the forest is not dwindling in size. The halflings never venture deep into the forest, as there are 'bogies' here (Possibly goblins). Alfrin Longbottomhimself killed two bogies within its eaves.
==Oakwater River==
The Oakwater is a wide river, filled with fish. It is used by the Haeflar mainly for fishing, and serves as their eastern border. The Oatwater Ferry takes Haeflar across to the east bank, from near Oakwater Brock, yet this is rarely used as no self-respecting Hobbit would want to venture beyond the borders.
