Peat bogs grow continously - I don't know at what rate. An uncut peat bog develops over the years into a domed shape and can be 10s of feet above the level of the lake it originally formed in. In Ireland, stories are told about bogs that got up and moved elsewhere - one bog in a relatively inaccessible place grew to the point that it slid out of its hollow on a hill side and slid down the hill.

Lots of opportunity here. If Gloranthan peat bogs are analogous to the RW then most of the bogs will have formed since the Dawn. What sort of aldryami would be attracted to a bog?

Charles
