 ====== The Great Rice Patty ======
-Not much is known about this area of the world. Rumors abound that it is a huge area where the water runs from twenty feet to as little as three feet in depth. This supposedly is the reason it takes so long to circumnavigate Jaern.
+This massive, shallow area of the ocean is the primary reason it takes so long to circumnavigate Jaern. Adjacent to the continent of Geleia, most navigators treat the Great Rice Patty (GRP) as a landmass. Its depth ranges anywhere from three to twenty feet. Due to its favorable climate, the GRP is the "breadbasket" of much of southern Jaern, most of its population subsisting off rice or seaweed farming. Villages on stilts and flotillas are present all around the GRP, with many of them being under the jurisdiction of Geleia - although some are independent lizard-controlled villages, and some are territory of Lojem.
-The following 'facts' are known about the GRP (Great Rice Patty):
+Eels, fish, crocodiles, and manatee-like "sea cows" are common animals in the GRP, with the former three being farmed or hunted as sources of meat for Patty inhabitants, often referred to collectively as Pattians.
-  * There is a large production of 'staple' crops such as rice.
-  * The undersea land of the GRP has been deamed 'too muddy' to build a wall.
-  * The most common type of dwellings are huts on poles, though some of the richer folk have platforms to build their houses on.
-  * Eels and fish are herded.
-  * They are rumored to have some sort of 'Water Cow' and crocodiles as another food source.
-  * The GRP is located half-way between Lojem and Gelaia.
