"When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built it all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. And that one sank into the swamp. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, and then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. And that's what you're going to get, Son, the strongest castle in all of England." | "When I first came here, this was all swamp.

| − | A '''wetland''' is a type of | + | A '''wetland''' is a type of {{L|biome}}, flooded permanently or only periodically, with an abundance of {{L|plants|foliage}}, including heavy, specialized {{L|tree}}-growth and a vast ecosystem. The landscape is very flat, with only occasional, small gradients. {{L|Pond}}s are abundant. Wetlands tend to form around {{L|ocean}}ic coastlines, especially where {{L|river}}s meet the ocean. |

It can be incredibly difficult to nigh-impossible to extract {{L|stone}}s from these areas, making the long-term feasibility of a fort doubtful; it is recommended that an additional, non-saturated biome be selected as well. The stratification is often hard to ascertain, as it is difficult to penetrate the aquifer. Usually there are a few layers of {{L|clay}} and {{L|loam}} followed, eventually, by stone and rock beneath. |
