The Breaks

The Breaks are the rocky outcroppings that mark the border between the Sundered Sea and the marshes beneath Rockport. it is through the porous stone of The Breaks that water from The Sundered Sea seeps into the swamp. Much of the salt is filtered out in this process but many other minerals are added as well. This mineral richness is the reason for the large lack of plant and wildlife near the breaks. Further out into the swamp, the water becomes fresher and the ground less menacing, allowing plants and wildlife to exist.
