-The '''Elminster Mire''' is a "frowned upon" focal point for interlopers, busybodies, blackmailers, and gossipers. Located east of the [[Evesque Valley]] and northwest of the Andelphracian River Valley, the Mire didn't always have such a disreputable position: back in the days of Quezlar 6, it was a veritable and dangeous force to be reckoned with (making his subsequent crossing all that more remarkable).

Being a master of the amazing, it caused me fright for but only a minute.</blockquote>

 I'm glad to see someone has finally written an article about one of the many "unbelievable" phenomena that exist all across Ghyll. I know that I will add a few notes of my own once... certain letters come up for submission. You always seem to submit something interesting, Morbus.

 The longer one lurks near or inside the Mire, the harder it is to leave: so entwined are these visitors with the lure of secrets yet revealed that they begin developing wisps of ethereal detritus around their necks. These "Wisps of the Willing" can only be freed with the help of loved or trusted companions, made all the more difficult by the victim's habit of spewing loudly the most visceral curses and hidden thoughts he may know about his potential saviors. These encounters are the preferred coup d'état of the 1,300 Ghosts.

 A few weeks later, [[Ignatius Maximillian Albertus Crank]] emerged with a story of 1,300 Ghosts trapped in the Mire with no  escape, only "retribution" when they are replaced by a more recent demise in the so-called "Resurrection Lottery." He adds "and thus, the endless influx of fresh and useful gossip is replenished."
-In this mired limbo, the only joys the spirits live for is contempt for what they've lost, reminiscing angrily about their past life, and dishing the dirt on enemies and loved ones alike (even dead loved ones, spared the misery of the Mire, are susceptible). For advantageous people like [[Ignatius Maximillian Albertus Crank|Ignatius Crank]], their lack of corporealism makes for wonderful abuse: just pull up dry tree, stave off the damp, and wait for the good 'uns to drop.

 Having their laments become useful to the soulful is far from their intentions, so the spirits have developed a few tricks of their own. Nowadays, the only way you can hear the spirits gossip is if you ''don't actually try'': talking to others in your party, thinking about something else intently, writing in a travellogue, and even sleeping, opens the doorway for the rumors and hearsay visitors so dearly desire. As with most doors, it is a two-way passage: not only do you hear the ghosts, ''but the ghosts hear you'', adding your own private thoughts and secrets to their collective knowledge.
