Blackwood

Location
Blackwood is the southern-most region of Cyrodiil. It covers the areas south of the Niben Basin and surrounding the lower Niben River to its mouth at Topal Bay, and stretchs both ways from the Niben River to Elsweyr to the west and Black Marsh to the east.

Description and Topography
Though hilly in parts, especially to the west and south-east, Blackwood is primarily a flat swamp, due to its low altitude and close promixity to bodies of water.

Towns

 * Leyawiin is the primary city for this region.

Native Vegetation
Blackwood is home to many species of flora, including common trees, grasses, shrubs and reeds. Coastal plants such as Aloe Vera and Lavender are found near the Niben River and Topal Bay, while these bodies of water are also home to the aquatic species of Sacred Lotus and Water Hyacinth. The shady and moist swamps are favorable to common fungi species like Green Stain Cap and Clouded Funnel Cap, but are also home to rarer species, such as Stinkhorn and Bog Beacon, and even the rare Pitcher Plant. Other species that are not as common, but are sometimes found in Blackwood are Dragon's Tongue Plant, Domica Redwort, Somnalius Plant and Tiger Lily. The unusual Nirnroot can also be found in higher abundance in this region that most due to the moist atmosphere and many bodies of water.
