Peevish lies, slick wet and bubbling gases, at the entrance to the underground river Livid.
The mud bubbles pop and billow green and red gases mix into black.
Mud people serve the toads. They warn outsiders away with shrieks and growls.
They worship their toad gods and grow fat reddish-green worms to feed them.
They live in domed mud huts made of a material imported from another land.
At leisure, the mud people express intelligent and sophisticated natures. They think themselves better than others, but worship the toads.
"We exist only to serve the toads," they say.
No one wishes to visit Peevish, but many roads lead there and the mud creatures lure travelers in. They distract them with idle talk while pickpocketing their treasures and send travelers to the toads to be berated (which the toads enjoy).
"Be wary," the Guide says. "If you are not careful to conduct yourself with respect and deference, the Livid will kill you, make a mash of your corpse, and feed you to the toad gods."
