Withick Mire

Withick Mire was once a green, swampy place but turned into a garbage dump used as a stronghold by the Resistance. It was the home of famous artist Withick before he was captured and killed.

History
Originally, Withick Mire was known as just 'the Mire', but the name was changed to 'Withick Mire' in honour of the artist Withick who had lived there.

Secrets of Deltora
Doran the dragonlover stopped at Withick Mire after completing his book, Secrets of Deltora. He asked Withick to illustrate and print the book.

Resistance
Once it became a garbage dump, Withick Mire was used as a stronghold for the Resistance. It's position was ideal: close enough to the River Del to have ready water supply, large enough to provide cover and resources within the garbage, and smelly enough to keep Ols and Grey Guards away.
