The Bog is a perfectly circular pool in woods of the Kessig Approaches on Innistrad.[1]
Description
It smells of rot, moss and stagnant things, and gives off a low rumbling punctuated by an occasional snap. Though the ground in this region of the forest was pitted with mires and swamps, this particular pool had always been known as "The Bog". It had no name, but the villagers of the Approaches all knew that it claimed them. The Bog was their protection, because even the things that terrorized the forest feared the Bog. As a consequence, the villagers only gave lip service to fealty to Lord of the Approaches, and even to religion. The sole thing they really seemed to respect was that watery pit. And whatever lived deep within it.
But few of the villagers accepted the Angel’s blessed sleep. Instead, they left instructions for their bodies to be returned to the Bog. You didn’t need to weigh bodies down when feeding them to the Bog. Corpses sank in and did not return.
